Editing Rhotic consonant (section)

===Turkish===
In [[Istanbul Turkish]], {{IPA|/r/}} is always pronounced except in colloquial speech for the present continuous tense suffix {{lang|tr|yor}} as in {{lang|tr|gidiyor}} ('going') or {{lang|tr|yazıyordum}} ('I was writing') and {{lang|tr|bir}} ('one') when used as an adjective/quantifier (but not other numbers containing this word, such as {{lang|tr|on bir}} ('eleven')). In these cases, the preceding vowel is not lengthened. The unfavorability of dropping {{IPA|/r/}} can be explained with minimal pairs, such as {{lang|tr|çaldı}} ('stole') versus {{lang|tr|çaldır}} (imperative 'ring').{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

In some parts of [[Turkey]], like [[Kastamonu]], the syllable-final {{IPA|/r/}} is almost never pronounced: ''gidiya'' instead of ''gidiyor'' ("she/he is going") and ''gide'' instead of ''gider'' ("she/he goes"). In ''gide'', the [[compensatory lengthening|preceding ''e'' is lengthened]] and pronounced somewhat between ''e'' and ''a''.
