Abstract
The article focuses on the lexical, grammatical and phonetic composition of the Australian English language (AusE), which was mainly influenced by the Irish variety of English (IrE). The Australian variety had practically emerged by the 19th century and reflected not only British dialects, but also many historical processes, namely the migration of white people to the continent, mainly from Ireland, which had a direct impact on the formation of the Australian variety of the English language. In this form, it has been generally preserved to this day. The character of the Australians, which they are proud of and which makes them special, is also acquired from the Irish, who moved to the "ever-green continent" with their traditions, enriching the local population with their culture. Toponymic names of geographical objects on the map of Australia also appeared due to Irish borrowings. The Irish influence on the language and culture of Australia will be discussed in this article.
