South Australian English

[1] "Butcher" is more commonly attributed to publicans around Adelaide who kept these smaller glasses for abattoir workers coming in straight from work for a drink before heading home.

[2] Processed luncheon meat is known as "fritz" in South Australia, whereas in other states it is referred to as devon, stras or polony.

In words like "chance", "plant", "branch", "sample" and "demand", the vast majority of Australians use the flat /æ/ TRAP vowel.

In South Australia, however, there is a high proportion of people who use the broad /aː/ PALM vowel in BATH words.

"Hurled", for example, in South Australia has a semi vocalised /l/, leading to the pronunciation [həːʊ̯d], whereas in other states the /l/ is pronounced as a consonant.
