Upper-class Accent Examples

I want to hear how they say 'bottle of water'

Борис👍👍👍💚💚💚🌹🌹🌹, за помощь, Украине, в начале агрессии👍👍👍💖💖

You had me until Boris.

Lord and Prince among the 'upper' class? Those are the scum.

posh accent?

Boris Johnson's accent is middle class.

This video is soooo british. I mean "the upper class accent"

It sounds very closed-mouthed in most words.

I'm an Aussie and went to school in the U.K. I found the various accents could be used to discriminate against people. I lived In Kent during the 70's. A person could be pigeon holed just by the way they spoke in regard to the class system. As an Aussie I was removed from this cultural ism of opportunity. This was still the time of the 11 plus where peoples lives were very much affected by the school they went to, e.g. I asked a kid what he would like to study at university .His response was we are at a secondary modern school and CSE or O levels were about as far as you would get. There were very few kids about 6 who were still in senior school doing A levels. When I here a posh accent to this day I just think generally what WANKERS.

Clear and well enunciated English.

The received accent aka Oxford English, Queen's English was manufactured in the private boarding schools in the 19th century.

Elites and privileged

Scouse is pretty upper class

Kate isnt upper class😂😂😂

Blimey, bloody wankers!

There was more American English Bashing here than I expected.... Let me just say that all languages change over time. Once a language is removed from it's source, it soon begins to be "different". Different is still valid. Puerto Rico and Argentina speak a different form (dialect) from each other and from the Spanish in Spain, for example.

I've lived in the province of Quebec, Canada two different times. I can understand the French spoken by the news channels because their French is annunciated and spoken more slowly. I have much more trouble understanding my husband's family from the villages around Quebec City. I use the example of someone who speaks English with an accent from the Outback of Australia being hard to understand - very hard!! It's far easier to understand someone who lives in a city in Australia.

English are classists.

If you are going to speak like that, then you will get duck-taped on the school bench.

I cant help it, force of habit, spent the entire video "doffing" my cap.

I found them all pretty much within range, except Boris. Is he from the north?

Jacob Rees Mogg, minister for the 18th century.

The voices and accents of Terminators who serve WhiteNet, a biological version of SkyNet.

" BAARTH " ( BATH ) ?
" GRAARSS " ( GRASS ) ?
What infuriates me is their " intrusive Rs ( Arse ) rammed into my face every time they open their alien gobs !

Tom Hiddleston is my crush forever🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼

Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Right Honourable Member for the 18th Century.

Tossers. 👍🏼

Back in the day, it was just said a person was "Well Spoken"

Ruling class. Not 'upper' class. They're not better than the rest of us...just as the working class are not 'lower' class.

So fkin conceited and patronizing

Most of these people are assholes lol

upper class and lower class. thats discrimination.

nerds

Todays speech, = somethink =something =😂 we was= we were = 😂 they put it down to accents. Just bad grammer and it doesn't matter how much money people have, as soon as they open their mouths it spoils the whole effect.

The Princess of Wales is from a middle-class background, but she went to a good school.

yep the elites jade

Any native English speaker can choose to talk like this. It's all about verbalising, clearly everything with intent.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is the king of educated eloquence to me. All the carefully selected words, all the seemingly effortless classical references… the works.

whelp bro that all sounds the same to me

Oh I’m a fan of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s accent

I feel like voluntarily giving all of my belongings to the british museum now

lower your voice, open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out

I was born in Sevenoaks in Kent in England. I never saw myself speaking well, but now live in nearly 20 years in France. I’ve had many French and English tell me I am very posh.

I believe it might have something to do in education, but I think it’s a great deal to be around people who articulate well during childhood.

American English has clearly altered many or most of the "received pronunciation" accents in this video, including that of the now "King."

These people just sound smarter than other accents, i don't know that they are but they sound smart !!

Are these all from Britain? Geez, there ARE upper class accents from other English speaking countries.

I wouldn’t necessarily call this upper class. Or at least not exclusively upper class. I grew up in a lower middle class family and my accent is quite similar to a lot of these.

Seriously! Why on earth is this so important?
