No there's only one received English way of saying any particular word-of course what the word is depends on how it fits it a sentence so: The North West wind. Is a different word than: Wind the clock up. And of course you can't pronounce all words correctly, no one's larynx is so well equiped. People usually pronounce things according to where their live, or their class etc. British English in this case is no different to US English or Australian English.

Despite their varying spellings, homophones often share the same pronunciation in modern English, leading to confusion in written communication.

Abestrus, avestruz and ostrits are Tagalog equivalents of the English word "ostrich." Birthplace and personal preference determine whether a Spanish word spelled the Tagalog way (case 1), a Spanish loan word (example 2) or an English loan word (instance 3) suits since Tagalog shows influences particularly from English, Malay and Spanish. The pronunciation will be "a-bey-stroos" in Tagalog.


How does a European accent sound like?

There isn't a single "European" accent. Speakers of every different language in Europe, as well as many dialects of those languages, will have different accents when speaking English. British/English, French, German, Spanish, Swiss, Swedish, Austrian, and other languages will all create different accents when their speakers learn English, because accents develop because sounds in English 1) don't exist in the speaker's native language, 2) follow different rules in the native language, or 3) have more or fewer ways of pronouncing sounds that are considered the same in English.
