I. Introduction
In all languages all the sounds are always in activities of change. It was normal that the speech of all communities did not develop in the same direction. Different parts of the country were exposed to different extreme influences, which were the reasons for various phonetic structures of the language. For the last five centuries, in Great Britain has appeared the rule that one type of English pronunciation is socially preferable to others, just the only regional accent began to assume all social prestige. For reasons of commerce, politics, and the presence of the Court, it was the pronunciation of the south-east of England and the London Region, that this prestige was given. This pronunciation is named Received Pronunciation which is defined as a model for right, correct pronunciation, especially for educated formal speech.
The written form of language is usually a currently accepted standard and is the same throughout the country. But spoken language may change from place to place. The varieties of the language are determined by language associations disposing from small groups to nations. Speaking about the nations we aim at the national variants of the language. Concerning to English there is a great diversity in the spoken realization of the language and particularly in terms of pronunciation .
