Southern British English is a regional variety spoken across the south of

England from East Anglia and Kent in the east to Devon and Cornwall in

the southwest.

This type is also known as

1 Standard English Pronunciation
2 Received English Pronunciation (RP),
3 Public School Pronunciation.

It became finally fixed, as the speech of the educated, through the

stabilizing influence of the public schools of the nineteenth century –

the select and expensive boarding schools for the children of the rich,

such as Eton and Harrow. Hence the name Public School

Pronunciation.
Northern English is the speech of those born and brought

up in the region between Birmingham and the border of

Scotland.This type of pronunciation is not to be sharply

separated from the South English type since it contains

some features of the latter, modified by the local speech

habits.

The most marked differences in the distribution of vowels are as

follows:
[a] for RP [æ] in words like bad [bad], man [man];
[æ] for [ɑ:] in the words like glass [glæs], ask [æsk], dance [dæns],
The word father is pronounced as an exception, with [ɑ:];
[u] for [ʌ] in words like cup [kup], love [lʌv], much [mutʃ];
[e] or [ɜ:] for [ei] in words like may [me, mɜ:], take [tek, tɜ:k].
Standard English of Scotland is considerably

modified by Southern British, but some of its

features go back independently to the

Northumbrian dialect of the Anglo-Saxon

tongue.

The most important differences are as follows:

Rolled, or thrilled [r] (of the Russian type is used

instead of the constrictive RP [r] in all positions

(i.e. also after a vowel before silence and

between a vowel and consonant, as in more

[mor], born [born]).

Dark [l] is used in all positions as in look [luk].
Cockney is a colloquial dialect of residents of certain areas of London: the East

End and surrounding areas. According to legend, true Cockneys can only be

called those Londoners who live near the church of St. Mary-le-Bow in the City

and hear the ringing of its bells.The word cockney translates as "cock's egg".

Most often, this was the name of underdeveloped eggs laid by young hens.

Conversation – rabbit: talk rhymes with rabbit and pork (rabbit and pork)

Head – loaf: head rhymes with loaf of bread (a piece of bread)

Phone – dog: phone rhymes with dog and bone (dog with bone)

For example: Wait a sec, my dog's ringing! – Wait a second, my phone is ringing.
 Estuarine English is spoken in the southeastern part of

England: in those areas where the River Thames flows into

the North Sea and forms a wide estuary. The most

characteristic features of Estuarine English in the vocabulary

are cheers as "thank you" and mate instead of friend. These

words have already penetrated into other dialects and are

popular in many areas of the UK. The Scouse dialect is common in Liverpool and

throughout the county of Merseyside, in which this

city is located. The scouse is also partially used in

North Wales, Flintshire, Runcorn and west

Geordie refers to the Northern English dialects. It is

Lancashire.The Scouse dialect, unlike other

spoken in south Northumberland, in the northern

Northern English dialects, is characterized by a

districts of Durham and in Newcastle.Geordie is not

strong accentuation and intonation of speech.
as significantly different from Standard English as

other Northern English dialects. The h sound at the

beginning of the word does not disappear, but is

pronounced well. The r sound at the end of the

word is not pronounced, but is read as ah.

 Conclusion

Spoken English shows great differences in the

regions where it is the predominant

language. Numerous identifiable pronunciation

variations usually originate from the phonetic

inventory of local dialects, as well as from broader

differences in standard English of various primary-

speaking populations. Different regional people

transfer the intonation and phonetics of their

native language into English
