English-language vowel changes before historical /r/
In English, many vowel shifts affect only vowels followed by /r/ in rhotic dialects, or vowels that were historically followed by /r/ that has been elided in non-rhotic dialects. Most of them involve the merging of vowel distinctions, so fewer vowel phonemes occur before /r/ than in other positions of a word. Rhotic accents pronounce the /r/ sound after a vowel, as in car and hard while in non-rhotic accents usually do not pronounce /r/ when it comes after a vowel and no vowel follows, as in car.
