Editing Rhotic consonant (section)

===Astur-Leonese===
In [[Asturian language|Asturian]], word-final {{IPA|/r/}} is always lost in [[infinitives]] before an [[enclitic]] pronoun, which is reflected in writing. For example, the infinitive form ''dar'' {{IPA|[dar]}} plus the third-person plural dative pronoun "-yos" ''da-yos'' {{IPA|[ˈdaʝos]}} ("give to them") or the accusative form "los" ''dalos'' {{IPA|[ˈdalos]}} ("give them"). That happens also in [[Leonese language|Leonese]] in which the infinitive form is "dare" {{IPA|[ˈdare]}}, and both the {{IPA|/r/}} and the vowel are dropped (''da-yos'', not *''dáre-yos''). However, most speakers also drop rhotics in the infinitive before a lateral consonant of a different word, but that is not shown in writing: ''dar los dos'' {{IPA|[daː los ðos]}} (give the two [things]). That does not occur in the middle of words: the name ''Ca'''rl'''os'' {{IPA|[ˈkarlos]}}.
