  The Flag
  The Australian flag has a rectangular shape with an aspect ratio of 1:2 and is made of deep blue canvas. It features three deeply symbolic images for Australians: the Union Jack, the Commonwealth Star, and the southern Cross. The Union Jack is the name of the national flag of great Britain, and its presence on the Australian flag indicates that the latter was once a British colony, and today is part of the Commonwealth of Nations along with other former colonies and dominions of the British crown.

  History of the Australian flag
  Until the beginning of 20th century, Australia was a colony of great Britain, and therefore did not have its own flag and used the Union Jack.
  
  After the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia, the Government announced a competition to create the main state emblem. On September 3, 1901, out of 30,000 sketches, the one that formed the basis of the modern banner was chosen. In 1903. King Edward VII approved 2 versions of the flag of Australia, which differed only in the background color. The blue flag was recognized as the official and naval banner of the country, while the red flag was used by its merchant Navy. However, the public was initially confused by the presence of two flags in the country, but the innovation eventually caught on in 1953. it was fixed by the relevant legislative act.

  National language in australia
  In Australia, there is no language whose official use is enshrined in the country's Constitution. However, English, which is spoken by the majority of the population, is de facto considered the national language of Australia. In the 2011 , 77% of Australians reported speaking English at home.
  English on this continent has a unique accent and vocabulary. Australian and British English are similar, but the first has bright color, called "strine". Strine is the country's greatest creative product, characterized by abbreviations, profanity, hyperbole and vulgar expressions. strine is slang that was brought by the first prisoners — London cockneys and Irish. It subsequently developed as a rebellious subculture. The use of" country " and slang words varies from state to state. In addition, Australian English contains many borrowings from the aboriginal language. Some words have a meaning for Australians that differs from other English-speaking countries around the world.
