The /r/ phoneme is variable in manner and place of articulation, and difficult to correct worldwide. Variability could exist within the same language. The objective of this study was to determine whether Egyptian Cairene /r/ was a trill or a tap and, if both forms were present, whether they were affected by word position or adjacent vowels/consonants. The information obtained was intended to improve correction of /r/ in faulty articulation. Spectrographic analysis was done for 50 Cairene subjects, who produced /r/ in different word positions in carrier phrases. Results have shown presence of both forms in the speech of every subject, but taps were more common than trills. Trills were more common in geminated /r/, in word-medial syllable final position, especially when preceded with /e/, /æ/ or /α/, and in word-medial syllable initial position, especially when preceded by non-back consonants.
/r/音素在发音方式和发音部位上具有可变性，并且在全球范围内都难以纠正。同一语言中也可能存在可变性。本研究的目的是确定埃及开罗方言中的/r/是颤音还是闪音，如果两种形式都存在，它们是否会受到单词位置或相邻元音/辅音的影响。所获得的信息旨在改善发音错误中/r/的纠正。对50名开罗方言受试者进行了频谱分析，他们在载体短语的不同单词位置发出/r/音。结果表明，每个受试者的语音中都存在这两种形式，但闪音比颤音更常见。颤音在双写/r/、单词中间音节末尾位置（尤其是前面跟着/e/、/æ/或/α/时）以及单词中间音节开头位置（尤其是前面跟着非后元音辅音时）更为常见。
