Etymology

 * is from West Germanic . In most dialects it is vowelised in two cases: (1.) between a short vowel and an alveolar, (2.) after a long vowel. Especially in the former case it may also be lost entirely.

Usage notes

 * In the German-based spelling, r is doubled after short vowels except in certain function words and when the letter is followed by another consonant within the word stem.
 * In the Dutch-based spelling, r is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open.

Usage notes

 * 《汉语拼音方案》 defines a standard pronunciation for each letter. However, these pronunciations are rarely used in education; another pronunciation is commonly used instead.
 * The pronunciation above are only used while referring to letters in Pinyin. They are not used in other context (such as English).

Letter

 * 1) The eighteenth letter of the Dutch alphabet.

Letter

 * 1) The eighteenth letter of the German alphabet.

Usage notes

 * The letter R has a variety of possible realisations in contemporary German. Three positions must be distinguished:
 * Before vowels, the variation is mostly between a uvular consonant (fricative, approximant, or rarely trill) and an alveolar consonant (trill, flap, or rarely approximant). In northern, central, and south-western Germany, the alveolar pronunciation is now rare and chiefly restricted to the elderly generation of some areas. In south-eastern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Tyrol, it remains more common; but even in these regions the uvular R is gaining ground and is already strongly predominant in some parts (e.g. Vienna).
 * Word-finally and before consonants, most accents may vowelise R to ~, but in different ways. Vowelisation is commonest after long vowels and, where it is also prescribed in the broadcasting standard. A majority of speakers, however, vowelise R after short vowels, too. The resulting diphthongs may be contracted and length distinctions before vowelised R may be lost. The degree to which this happens differs regionally and idiolectally.
 * Before the syllable, many speakers also vowelise R, though this is commonest in fast or casual speech, and consonantal realisations may be retained depending on the rhythm of the phrase as well as the formality of the context.
