Editing Rhotic consonant (section)

===Malay (including Indonesian)===
The pronunciation of final {{IPA|/r/}} in [[Malay language|Malay]] and [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] varies considerably. In Indonesian, {{Lang|ms|Baku}} ({{lit|standard}}) Malay, and [[Kedah Malay]], the final {{IPA|/r/}} is pronounced, but in the Johor-Riau accent, the standard accent of Malay in Brunei and Malaysia, and several other dialects, it is not.

The quality of the realization of the phoneme varies too. In the syllable onset, in Indonesian, {{Lang|ms|Baku}} Malay, and standard Johor-Riau Malay, it varies between a trill {{IPAblink|r}}, a flap {{IPAblink|ɾ}}, and sometimes, even an approximant {{IPAblink|ɹ̠}}. In many dialects of Malay, such as those of [[Kedah Malay|Kedah]], [[Kelantan-Pattani Malay|Kelantan-Pattani]] and [[Terengganu Malay|Terengganu]], onset {{IPA|/r/}} is usually realized as a [[Velar consonant|velar]] fricative {{IPAblink|ɣ}}. In [[Perak Malay]], a [[Uvular consonant|uvular]] pronunciation, {{IPAblink|ʁ}} is more common.

In Kedah Malay, final {{IPA|/r/}} is uniquely realized as a pharyngeal fricative {{IPAblink|ʕ}}. In the dialect of Malacca, when it appears after {{IPA|/a/}}, final {{IPA|/r/}} is vocalized into {{IPAblink|w}} or {{IPAblink|u}}.
