"Cockney and received pronunciation (Queen’s English) were once spoken by
people of all ages, but they are no longer commonly spoken among young people
in the south-east of England.
In new research, colleagues and I recorded the voices of 193 people between the
ages of 18 and 33 from across south-east England and London. We then built a
computer algorithm which “listened” to how they spoke and grouped them by how
similarly they pronounced vowels in different words.
We identified three main accents:standard southern British English,
multicultural London English and estuary English."
