Australian English

To start with, the anglophone Australia and New Zealand are two of the youngest nations in the world. The first Europeans who took their residence in Australia came more than 200 years ago. They did not come because they wanted to. Australia was founded as a penal colony. Convicts from Britain, mostly from large English cities, were sent there. They were joined by free settlers, military personnel and administrators, often with their families. However, a large part of the convict body was Irish, with at least 25% directly from Ireland, and others indirectly via Britain.
