It could be an Oxford way of speaking (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brogue

I believe this is a double definition.

'it could be an oxford' is the first definition.
(as in Oxford shoes)

'way of speaking' is the second definition.
(brogue can mean a regional accent)

(Other definitions for brogue that I've seen before include "afoot?" , "Patterned shoe, accent" , "What might identify an Irishman" , "Irish accent or strong shoe" , "Stout leather shoe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
