    New York and Long Island accents have the "r" sound similar to that in RP, ex.: "pawkway" for parkway; whereas Eastern New Englanders tend to drop their "r"s, ex.: "But it's illegal to paahk ya caah rin Haahvid Yaahd."
    Eastern New Englanders also for the most part have both kinds of Canadian Raising in words like "like" and "about".

    Virtually everyone in Anglia would say 'bree' for 'bury', or I thought, everywhere - and no association to being 'posh' - it is almost a diminutive form. It happens with many words in many languages spoken fast, the 'consonant swapping' the R sound comes to the front. It happens in many words and dialects.

    Before class, R.P. just evolved from the family of 'south east England' accents ( which used to have a strong R and also rolled R also ).
    You can encounter people who are totally working class, with an R.P. style accent, in the south east of England.
    Also, a large amount of accents T drop, or soft T not just south east, but many places. Ie: 'Wa'ah' ( Water) 'Par'y' ( Party ) but this changes at times depending on situation. Most people do both intermittently.

    He doesn't have a strong RP accent. It is a southern English accent but more of a modern southern English accent (Good country accent imitation). He show's North American speech influences in the flattening of his speech as opposed to "creaky" voiced older generations. She's definitely Canadian. American/Canadian speech has held on to older English conventions. The T-D (sometimes F as well) issue is straight out of old English. It occurs in many Germanic languages. Eminently inimitable is what drives many parts of modern speech in the UK. Upper class speech in the UK is eminently inimitable. That's why there are many upper class British speech patterns that are more influenced by French speech patterns. Southern English is the closest to north American English primarily because the early American colonists were overwhelming from Southern England. Universal education came earlier to North America. With Universal education came standardized speech. In America they tended to pronounce all the letters and they stressed a even tone to speech. Later on Webster's dictionary increased this pattern as well as removing what Noah Webster thought were too many "Frenchism", ie Color-Colour, Flavor-Flavour. Strong R comes from the west country and most Americans have it. Soft R as is found in eastern England is mostly found from New Jersey north through New England into the Maritime Provinces. These areas are were the original settlers came from.
    About...Canadian U sound is from the older pronunciation. US speech is closer to modern English shorter U.

    A really stunning lesson. Two wonderful teachers.
    I notice a strong difference in the British and North American pronunciation of the contraction can't. In the British pronunciation, it's quite clear they meant cannot. But in the North American pronunciation, it's sometimes hard to tell if they meant can or cannot, because they don't pronounce the t.
    I'm Brazilian and I avoid the British pronunciation, because it's very close to the pronunciation of a very rude word.
