E.g. Annie Oakley's initial way of speaking Chinese (6)
I believe the answer is:
orphan
'e g annie' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'oakley's initial way of speaking chinese' is the wordplay.
'initial' indicates taking the first letters.
'way of speaking' becomes 'RP' (Received Pronunciation, standard British accent).
'chinese' becomes 'han' (Chinese dynasty).
The first letter of 'oakleys' is 'o'.
'o'+'rp'+'han'='ORPHAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "Child such as Harry Potter or Jane Eyre" , "Bereaved child" , "No harp (anag.)" , "Parentless child" , "Poor boy" .)
