nounnon-Antipodean (plural non-Antipodeans)

plural non-Antipodeans

  1. A person who is neither from Australia nor New Zealand.

    Many non-Antipodeans cannot readily distinguish Australian and New Zealand English, because the phonologies basically overlap with the exception of an upwards chain shift in the front vowels.
