Also, /ɹ/ represents the rhotic ‘r’ (found in most accents of English), which is an allophone of /r/ (trilled ‘r’), but many books and dictionaries use the phonemic symbol /r/ instead of the allophone /ɹ/. One limitation of this char1t is that it doesn’t indicate the parts of the tongue involved in the articulation of most of these sounds. 1 Designed by Edwin Quesada Montiel
