Received Pronunciation (often abbreviated as RP) is the accent traditionally regarded as the, standard for British English. Traditionally, Received Pronunciation has been associated with, high social class. It was the "everyday speech in the families of Southern English persons whose, men-folk [had] been educated at the great public boarding-schools". RP is an accent, so the study, of RP is concerned only with matters of pronunciation; other areas relevant to the study of, language standards such as vocabulary, grammar and style are not considered., General Indian English (GIE) refers to a variety originating throughout the Republic of, India. As mentioned earlier, Cultivated Indian English is almost entirely this General Indian, dialect but with a few features more of Received Pronunciation. General Indian English is free, from regional features. This mode if acquired will at least make it Telugu English, Punjabi, English, Manglish or any one particular variety of Indian English, Received Pronunciation or RP is the instantly recognizable accent often defined as, ‘typically British’. The concept of GIE or General Indian English asserts Pan-Indian, characteristics in the spoken English in India.The difference between RP and GIE are:, 1.Rhoticity (pronunciation of the historical R-like sounds or rhotic consonant/r/): RP is nonrhotic and phoneme/r/ is pronounced in RP when it is immediately followed by a vowel sound;, whereas GIE has only one phoneme, 2.RP has a gliding vowel ( a combination of 2 adjacent vowel sounds in the same syllable) or, diphthongs, whereas GIE has 2 pure vowels (a vowel that is pronounced with more or less, unvarying quality, and does not glide up or down) or monophtongs., 3.GIE are less centralised and closer than RP.RP uses open back vowels ( vowel sound used in, some spoken languages) whereas GIE uses more of front vowels (vowel sounds used in some, spoken languages)
