Abstract
The experimental data obtained by the author in the course of a two-step phonetic analysis of the vocalic and consonantal systems of British dialects (Northern Irish, Welsh, Scottish) and regional pronunciation varieties (Australian, New Zealand, Indian, African-American, Caribbean) allow to determine the basic segmental deviations from the British pronunciation standard in English dialectal speech and single out the general and specific pronunciation features. The most common tendency observed in all the studied dialects is a language simplification.
