Difference between General Indian English and Received Pronunciation

The English spoken in Great Britain is regarded as the original and authentic English. The Oxford University has standardised the English language and authenticated the dialect used at Oxford.

The IPA or International Phonetic Alphabet has  created the Received Pronunciation or R.P of British English or B.E accordingly.

General Indian English does not follow the B.E in toto.

Owing to the Sanskrit root of most Indian languages, the Indian tongue is more accustomed to pronounce English words in a different manner.

General Indian English does not use dipthongs in the manner R.P does.

General Indian English distinctly pronounces the consonant /r/ following a vowel  where as in R.P it remains silent.

General Indian English does not distinguish  in pronunciation of the different forms of /a/. It stresses on a long /a/ for every pronunciation thus the words 'far' and 'fur', 'message' and 'massage' are pronounced in the same way.

There is no R.P for 'o' in B.E so the words 'go', 'so' are pronounced with a dipthong. But in General Indian English they are pronounced with the sound 'o'.

General Indian English does not pronounce 'u' as /iu/ so the word  'student' is not pronounced as /stjudent/  but as /student/ .

These are some of the basic differences between General Indian English and R.P.
