npub16uk4yyw47haxwl0klhh7lcx3qatkyqmpc6gc4hwru3qedaeuueeqqkpv7k (npub16uk…pv7k) There's no such thing as "not dialect" in spoken language.
By the end of her life, the English that Queen Elizabeth II spoke in public had diverged quite significantly from the affected speech of her youth, to the point where she actually sounded like a normal person – and yet that variety of RP (and the related BBC English) was considered “the proper way” by many.
Who actually speaks BBC English now? Certainly not BBC News presenters.
