SOUTHERN DIALECT AUSLAN

 


The Auslan signs being used in this website are from the Victorian state which uses Southern Dialect Auslan.

Most of the signs are the same all over Australia (except for colours), and most Deaf people have no trouble understanding each other, however, if you are learning Auslan, and from a state other than Victoria, you may like to double check with the signs that they are the same that your state uses.

You can ask a person who is knowledgeable about the signs in your state to have a look at the signs in here and let you know which signs are different, or you can look it up in an online Auslan Dictionary in www.auslan.org.au as it will show Northern and Southern dialects.
