More interesting pronunciations of English "R"

[@benmaloney5434]

To me the Glasgow postvocalic-/r/ sounds like it basically only remains as a pharyngealisation of the preceding vowel. Could be analogous the pretty much compete change in German [ɐʁ→ɐˤ→ɐ̯], creating new centering diphthongs. Fascinating!

it's such a bizarre feeling to find out that i've been pronouncing that phoneme not as [ɹ] or [ɹʷ] but as [ɣ̞ˤʳʷ]

Another thing of r-coloring in the US is a now dying feature that was present in parts of the midwest, the south, and Appalachia. It words with a 'long a' is followee by a voiceless postalveolar fricative (such as wash or washington) the a becomes r colored and the a shifts down into a low back vowel similar to the southern us pronunciation of what is spelled "oi"
