LANGUAGE VARIETY
The fact that English has 0: BEEN spoken in England for 1,500 years but in Australia
for a
few hundred, explains why we have 13: a great wealth of regional dialects
in
England that is 14 : or less totally lacking in Australia. It is often possible to
tell
15: an English person comes from to within about 15 miles or sometimes
less. In
Australia, where there has not been enough time for changes to bring about as
16: regional variation, it is almost impossible to tell where someone comes
from at all, although very small differences are now beginning to appear. It is not likely,
17: , that there will 18: be as much dialectal variation in
Australia as there is in England. This is because modern transport and communications are
very
different from 19: they were 1,500 or 20: 100 years ago.
21: English is now spoken in many different parts of the world many
thousands
of miles apart, it is very unlikely that it will break up into a number of different nonintelligible
languages in the same 22: that Indo-European and Germanic did. German
and Norwegian became different languages because the ancestors of the speakers of
23: two languages moved apart geographically, and as a result were no
24: in touch and communicating with one another. In the modern world,
unless there is an unforeseen catastrophe, this will not happen, at 25: not
in
the near future. As 26: as Americans and British people, for instance, are in
touch and want to communicate, it is most unlikely that their dialects will drift so
27: apart as to become different languages.
