Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

It's not a question of not being able to help but to hear a /w/
It depends on the speaker, but some do have that sound instead of an r in word-final position

It's not a question of perception, but of production

[split jackal]

no, like we genuinely do say our r's

it may sound similar to a w, we're not denying that but its not as strong as an actual w

not denying the fact that it's different from a french r. But its quite literally not a w sound

it's in-between both but because in creole some r's do become a w depending on the country I can see an argument for it affecting french especially since alot of french words are pronounced like similar creole counterparts

parle > palé
d'autre > d'aut
français> françé etc

I never said they don't pronounce r's

I said that sometimes, depending on the speaker, they can be realized as a [w]
