    • Actually, the 'r' in French is not silent word finally. It's a guttural rhotic, typically it's a uvular trill or a velar voiced or voiceless fricative. A voiceless velar fricative would likely be perceived as silent to most English speakers. The French 'r' is one of four word final consonants that are pronounced: hard 'c', 'r', 'f' and 'l' are all pronounced at the ends of words. Examples include: 'parc', 'sur', 'Piaf' , and 'mal'. You might also want to include mention of the front rounded vowels and the nasal vowels (which signal the unspoken word final nasal consonants).
