Another little item I have discovered about various Englishes. 
American English
has had a significant Irish input.  Much of Australia had a lot of
Irish convicts in
its early days and its English bears a noticeable  Irish influence
too, though 
nowhere near the extent of North America.  South Australia (where I
am from)
did not have this and thus South Australian English is more directly
descended
from official 19th century English English (so far as such a beast can
be said
to exist).
