London: The so-called Queen&rsquo;s English is on its way out as migration and machines bring in different accents and sounds, a new report said yesterday.
&lsquo;The Sounds of 2066&rsquo; report by the University of York believes the English spoken by Prince George, third in line to Britain&rsquo;s throne, will be very different from the one spoken by his great grandmother Queen Elizabeth II because age has become more important than class in driving the change in dialects.
&ldquo;The Queen's English spoken by Prince George as he grows up is not going to be the same as the Queen&rsquo;s English spoken by the Queen,&rdquo; said Dominic Watt, lecturer in forensic speech science at the University of York and author of the report.
The report also suggested that &ldquo;talking to machines and listening to Americans&rdquo; will soon kill off regional accents and phrases and lead to a more universally informal spoken English.
