The Oxford Dictionary of English uses the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to
represent the standard accent of English as spoken in the south of England
regular and
(sometimes called Received Pronunciation or RP). The transcriptions reflect
pronunciation as it actually is in modern English, unlike some longer-established
eatest
systems, which reflect the standard pronunciation of broadcasters and public
-er and -est ,

England is the pronunciation given, many variations are heard in standard speech
in other parts of the English-speaking world.
