Page "Comparison of American and British English" Paragraph 8

For the most part American vocabulary, phonology and syntax are used, to various extents, in Canada ; therefore many prefer to refer to North American English rather than American English.

Nonetheless Canadian English also features many British English items and is often described as a unique blend of the two larger varieties alongside several distinctive Canadianisms.

Australian English likewise blends American and British alongside native usages, but retains a significantly higher degree of distinctiveness from both of the larger varieties than does Canadian English, particularly in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary.
