====Phonemic correspondence====
* {{IPA|/ɪ, ʊ, e, ə, əː, ɔː, æ, ɑː, əw/}} correspond to the RP sounds (though {{IPA|/əː/}} and {{IPA|/əw/}} are most commonly written with {{angbr IPA|ɜː}} and {{angbr IPA|əʊ}}, respectively). {{IPA|/ɔː/}} can be considered to be an allophone of {{IPA|/ɔw/}} (with both corresponding to RP {{IPA|/ɔː/}}). {{IPA|/ɒw/}} also can be considered to be an allophone, a positional variant of {{IPA|/əw/}} (with both corresponding to RP {{IPA|/əʊ/}})&nbsp;– see below.{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|pp=189–90}}{{sfnp|Wells|1982|p=304}}
* {{IPA|/ɔ/}} corresponds to RP {{IPA|/ɒ/}}.{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|p=189}}
* {{IPA|/a/}} corresponds to RP {{IPA|/ʌ/}}.{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|p=189}}
* {{IPA|/ɪː, ʊː, eː/}} correspond to the centering diphthongs {{IPA|/ɪə, ʊə, eə/}} in traditional RP. {{IPA|/ʊː/}} is often missing from Cockney, being replaced with {{IPA|/ɔː ~ ɔw/}} or a disyllabic {{IPA|/ʉwə/}}.{{sfnp|Wells|1982|p=304}}{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|pp=151, 190}}
* {{IPA|/æː/}} corresponds to RP {{IPA|/aʊ/}}.{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|pp=151–2, 190}}
* {{IPA|/ɪj/}} and {{IPA|/ʉw/}} correspond to relatively less diphthongal {{IPA|/iː/}} and {{IPA|/uː/}} in traditional RP.{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|pp=152, 190}}
* {{IPA|/æj, ɑj, oj/}} correspond to {{IPA|/eɪ, aɪ, ɔɪ/}} in RP.{{sfnp|Wells|1982|p=304}}{{sfnp|Beaken|1971|p=190}}
