R, 18th letter of the English alphabet. The capital, or uppercase, R first
appeared in its modern form in the Roman alphabet as an adaptation of the
Greek letter rho. The Greek character corresponded to the Phoenician resh,
which was in turn developed from an Egyptian hieroglyph.
The written letter r represents a great variety of sounds, according to the
language in which it is used. Most common are the trilled lingual sound
appearing in Spanish and Italian and the uvular r sound in Parisian French.
In several languages, including Sanskrit, Czech, and Serbo-Croatian, r may be
be used as a vowel as well as a consonant; for example, Trst for Trieste.
The r sound in English is pronounced in a number of ways, depending upon
its position in a word and upon the accepted pronunciation in various parts
of the English-speaking world.
