Traditional Dialect of Oxfordshire
Perhaps it is not a coincidence that two of the English dialects which were closest to Standard English were those of Oxford and Cambridge. Many influential businessmen and politicians received their university education in one of those two cities before moving to London. There, and all around Britain, they made frequent speeches heard by thousands of people and their style of speaking helped make the standard.
