Bluey is popular, but none of them sound like they’re from Brisbane. They mostly have a mid-Atlantic accent with vocabulary from both the UK and the states. Like they say chips and fries rather than crisps and chips, but also say nappies instead of diapers. And as previously stated when there’s a pronunciation difference rather that a vocabulary difference there’s usually a 50/50 split, but not the same division each time, so the same kid will say tomAYto as will say ZEHbra. And for a lot of things they just throw in a Norwegian phrase translated directly into English.
Half my kids say ZEHbra and half say ZEEbra.
Have you been running some sort of A/B test?
The two that are in school (1zee 1zeh) are both delinquents. Not sure it makes a difference.
Any connection to what TV they preferred (e.g. Bluey)?
