2. Pronunciation of English /r/ - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_English_/r

   R-labialization, which should not be confused with the rounding of initial /r/ described above, is a process occurring in certain dialects of English, particularly some varieties of Cockney, in which the /r/ phoneme is realized as a labiodental approximant [ʋ], in contrast to an alveolar approximant [ɹ].

3. Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar...

   Quite often, r is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages like English and German that have rhotic consonants that are not an alveolar trill. That is partly for ease of typesetting and partly because r is the letter used in the orthographies of such languages.

4. Voiced alveolar and postalveolar approximants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_alveolar_and_post...

   For further ease of typesetting, English phonemic transcriptions might use the symbol r even though this symbol represents the alveolar trill in phonetic transcription. The bunched or molar r sounds remarkably similar to the postalveolar approximant and can be described as a voiced labial pre-velar approximant with tongue-tip retraction .

5. Linking and intrusive R - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R

   Linking R and intrusive R are sandhi phenomena [1] where a rhotic consonant is pronounced between two consecutive vowels with the purpose of avoiding a hiatus, that would otherwise occur in the expressions, such as tuner amp, although in isolation tuner is pronounced the same as tuna /ˈtjuːnə/ (or /ˈtuːnə/) in non-rhotic varieties of English.

6. Comparison of General American and Received Pronunciation

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_General...

   Rhoticity – GA is rhotic while RP is non-rhotic; that is, the phoneme /r/ is only pronounced in RP when it is immediately followed by a vowel sound. [5] Where GA pronounces /r/ before a consonant and at the end of an utterance, RP either has no consonant (if the preceding vowel is /ɔː/, /ɜ:/ or /ɑː/, as in bore, burr and bar) or has a schwa instead (the resulting sequences being ...

7. Rhotic consonant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotic_consonant

   The most typical rhotic sounds found in the world's languages are the following: [1] Trill (popularly known as rolled r): The airstream is interrupted several times as one of the organs of speech (usually the tip of the tongue or the uvula) vibrates, closing and opening the air passage.

9. Rhoticity in English - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English

   [a] When an r is at the end of a word but the next word begins with a vowel, as in the phrase "better apples," most non-rhotic speakers will preserve the /r/ in that position (the linking R) since it is followed by a vowel in this case. [5] The rhotic dialects of English include most of those in Scotland, Ireland, the United States, and Canada.
