In non-rhotic types of English beer is NOT pronounced with a final “r”. In casual, rapid speech when followed by a vowel some people pronounce the “r” as in beer or wine: bɪərɔːwaɪn. Others don’t. To avoid linking sounds some speakers introduce a glottal stop before the vowel to avoid the linking sound: bɪə ʔɔː waɪn.

The same thing happens with intrusive sounds like the intrusive “r”, “w” or “j” as in comma or hyphen: ˈkɒmərɔːˈhaɪfən; you and I: juːwəndaɪ; see or hear: siːjɔːhɪə. These intrusive sounds can also be avoided by inserting a glottal stop and they are also rare in slow, careful speech.

In the following phrases indicate with a if there is a linking or intrusive sound and b if there is not.
