Received Pronunciation (RP) is a standard form of English that is widely recognized and used in education, media, and professional settings. It is also known as the Queen's English or BBC English. RP is not a fixed or uniform accent, but rather a range of varieties that share some common features of pronunciation. Some of these features are:

The vowel in words like bath, grass, and dance is long and open, as in father.
The vowel in words like lot, cloth, and thought is the same, as in pot.
The vowel in words like nurse, bird, and work is a schwa, as in about.
The consonant /r/ is only pronounced when it is followed by a vowel, as in red and carry. It is silent when it is followed by a consonant or at the end of a word, as in car and far.
The consonant /t/ is often pronounced as a glottal stop, as in bottle, especially in casual speech.
The consonant /l/ is clear when it is followed by a vowel, as in light and play. It is dark when it is followed by a consonant or at the end of a word, as in milk and tall.
The consonant /j/ is often inserted before the vowel /u/ in words like suit, cute, and tune, making them sound like suit-yuh, cute-yuh, and tune-yuh.
The intonation of RP is generally level or slightly falling, with a rise at the end of questions.
