Received Pronunciation
Jamaican Standard English pronunciation, while it differs greatly from Jamaican Patois pronunciation, is nevertheless recognisably Caribbean. Features include the characteristic pronunciation of the diphthong in words like , which is often more closed and rounded than in Received Pronunciation or General American; the pronunciation of the vowel to (again, more closed and rounded than the British Received Pronunciation or General American varieties); and the very unusual feature of "variable semi-rhoticity".
