Upper-Class/Posh Formal Received Pronunciation (Conspicuous General British English) well-educated How do you do, eveyone! There are more formal pronunciations of the Received Pronunciation chiefly the Upper-Class version. I have known the following are well-educated/upper-class/posh pronunciation. examples: - data: DAHR-tuh instead of DAY-tuh (I wonder how come it is UK formal? see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/data) apparatus: ae-puh-RAHR-tihs mass (as in the Catholic mass): MAHRS scone: rhymes with "loan" rather than gone (also in General USA) renaissance: ri-NAY-SÃS rather than ri-NAY-since since it is a French loanword. Where ÃH is the nasal vowel. (see https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/renaissance) waistcoat: rhymes with west kit golf: the l is silent **off: it pronounces as ORF **often: rhymes with orphan **lost: likewise with saying off and often which the "o" is pronounced as in 'thought' (**see Her Majesty the Queen's 'The Christmas Broadcast 1957') also there is hw pronunciation for what, when, and which! see comment to read part 2 of my question.

Isn't RP becoming a thing of the past? I'd be interested to hear what the Brits say about this. Speaking RP might end up making people laugh, rather than impressed...

here is part 2 of my question. Before replying... Here are the words that have plenty of pronunciation. I am looking for the well educated and upper-class formal not informal pronunciation. I would like to learn more British and somewhat International pronunciation and willing to avoid USA-exclusive pronunciation such as for adult: UH-dult instead of AH-dult (AH from cat). I know the well-educated/formal/upper-class RP speakers prefer to pronounce any foreign language with a foreign pronunciation like French and Latin (somewhat almost). I would like to combine have my URP English and Japanese loanwords with proper Japanese pronunciation rather than Anglicized since I am learning Japanese. e.g for kawaii: KAHR-wahr-ee instead of KUH-wai. I would like to pronounce more British and not much American (saying scone is fine) Can anyone give me more formal and well-educated pronunciation? I sincerely apologize for the enourmous and complex comments and I sincerely appreciate for your biggest assistance. P.S. I am willing to change my accent from a mixture of Filipino and American to General American to an Upper-Class, Formal Received Pronunciation (around Southern England mainly between Oxford, Cambridge and London) as a Filipino from Bacolod City who lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA. Wish me the best of luck! =) Spelling: British English - Oxford Spelling references: Upper British RP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwnpg33bRO8&t=559s Wikipedia: Received Pronunciation - Conservative RP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation#Conservative_RP The Guardian: How to talk posh: a rarely marvlous glossary https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/sep/22/how-talk-posh-glossary-non-u How to sound posh - Part one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj0Rh__1kDw&t=112s How to sound posh - Part two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iW7HxCi5d4&t=186s iswearenglish - YouTube
