Noun

Etymology

 * is from West Germanic . In most dialects it is vowelised in two cases: (1.) between a short vowel and an alveolar, (2.) after a long vowel. Especially in the former case it may also be lost entirely.

Usage notes

 * In the German-based spelling, r is doubled after short vowels except in certain function words and when the letter is followed by another consonant within the word stem.
 * In the Dutch-based spelling, r is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open.

Usage notes

 * 《汉语拼音方案》 defines a standard pronunciation for each letter. However, these pronunciations are rarely used in education; another pronunciation is commonly used instead.
 * The pronunciation above are only used while referring to letters in Pinyin. They are not used in other context (such as English).

Letter

 * 1) The eighteenth letter of the Dutch alphabet.

Letter

 * 1) The eighteenth letter of the German alphabet.

Usage notes

 * The letter R has a variety of possible realisations in contemporary German. Three positions must be distinguished:
 * Before vowels, the variation is mostly between a uvular consonant (fricative, approximant, or rarely trill) and an alveolar consonant (trill, flap, or rarely approximant). In northern, central, and south-western Germany, the alveolar pronunciation is now rare and chiefly restricted to the elderly generation of some areas. In south-eastern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Tyrol, it remains more common; but even in these regions the uvular R is gaining ground and is already strongly predominant in some parts (e.g. Vienna).
 * Word-finally and before consonants, most accents may vowelise R to ~, but in different ways. Vowelisation is commonest after long vowels and, where it is also prescribed in the broadcasting standard. A majority of speakers, however, vowelise R after short vowels, too. The resulting diphthongs may be contracted and length distinctions before vowelised R may be lost. The degree to which this happens differs regionally and idiolectally.
 * Before the syllable, many speakers also vowelise R, though this is commonest in fast or casual speech, and consonantal realisations may be retained depending on the rhythm of the phrase as well as the formality of the context.

Etymology
From the romanization, which begins with.

Noun

 * 1) * 1655,, באב מוסי: Porta Moſis, ſive, diſſertationes aliqvot à R. Moſe Maimonide, main title

 * Regarding the correct pronunciation, especially of the name Ralph: according to a friend at the BBC, the possibilities of this name - either aristocratic 'Rafe' or vulgar, almost Australasian 'Ralff' - lie in its potential for wilful mispronunciation against type. I saw him cast confusion into an over-confident studio guest by introducing him as . This was nothing to the consternation, almost disintegration of the personality, of the artistic, aloof actor brought on as  ('Fiennes', naturally, pronounced superbly).

Ritter

Etymology
From, from , Flemish byform of , from +  (equivalent to German ).

In Middle High German, both and  (whence modern ) were used in the sense of “horseman”, “mounted man-at-arms”, as well as for the (emerging) rank of “knight”, and, by generalisation, any member of the lower nobility. Gradually, both forms were separated semantically (a vocabulary of 1487 has two distinct entries: miles: ritter vs. equester: reitter), and in early modern German a third (similar, though unrelated) form, from Dutch, was introduced. In this period, Ritter was the term for the class of the German lower nobility, Reuter was the normal word for a cavalryman, and Reiter was rare but sometimes used for “horseman”. From the 18th century, was gradually replaced by, especially with individual noblemen, whereas the collective  remained in use for the class as a whole. Accordingly, becomes increasingly limited to the historic or romantic/poetic “medieval knight”.

Romance

Etymology
From, from , from <  +. Extended in the 17th century to all languages derived from Latin.

Noun

 * 1) The group of languages and cultures which are derived from Vulgar Latin.
 * 2) * 2024, Wolfgang David Cirilo de Melo, Latin Linguistics: An Introduction, Walter de Gruyter: Berlin/Boston, p. 59f.:
 * The Romance languages are normally grouped along broad geographical lines into Italo-Romance (Italian dialects, with a standard based on Tuscan); Gallo-Romance (French and Provençal); Hispano-Romance (Castilian Spanish, Catalan as less widely recognized standard, and Portuguese); Rhaeto-Romance (Romansh, Ladin, and Friulian); and Balkan Romance (Dalmatian, now extinct, and Romanian). [...] Proto-Romance was a purely spoken language, and we should at least in principle keep it separate from Vulgar Latin.
