How do Australians say the English letters of alphabet?

Australians generally pronounce the letters of the alphabet the same way as the English. There are a few minor variations, but nothing significantly different:

* A: The "a" sound is often slightly more open and closer to the "ah" sound, particularly in casual speech.

* E: The "e" sound can sometimes be more drawn out than in British English.

* R: The "r" sound is typically a retroflex sound, similar to the American "r" but not as pronounced.

* T: The "t" sound can be slightly less aspirated, meaning it has less of a puff of air.

Beyond these minor differences, Australians say the letters of the alphabet in a very similar way to the English.

It's important to note that there can be regional variations within Australia itself, with some accents being more distinct than others.
