Only the human characters talk. They use the RP Standard English:

They distinguish between long vowels and short vowels.                         Example: car /kɑː/ man /mæn/

They have not a rhotic “R”. They only pronounce it when appear in final position of word or syllable and it is followed by a vowel. Example: car /kɑː/ carriage /ˈkærɪdʒ/
