About the story
What’s with this “Wren” thing?
   The oldest extant version of the fable we are presenting here appeared in 1913 in the first volume of a two-volume anthology of Low Saxon folktales (Plattdeutsche Volksmärchen “Low German Folktales”) collected by Wilhelm Wisser (1843–1935). Read more ...

English

Australian




Australians are not afraid of being themselves,
and their brands of English show it.

Language information: Australian English initially developed from various dialects imported by British and Irish convicts and early settlers, with influences from aboriginal languages. Since then, influences from dialects and languages of later immigrants have been influencing Australian English.
     Idiomatically and otherwise, Australian English is definitely different and colorful, and most of its speakers like it that way.
     This translation is in Australian Ocker English, which is a casual, “slang” variety of Australia.
