 Tenser, said the Tensor: R-Sounds
This got me wondering what the most common r-sound is. As it happens, last year for a phonology project I imported the UPSID database (which I've mentioned before) into Access, so I can quickly write SQL queries on its contents: the phoneme inventories of 451 genetically diverse languages.
Since the phoneme inventories of the languages in UPSID were collected from printed sources with varying levels of detail, sometimes the features described in one language are less specific than in others.
The approximant r-sounds (which include the English variant) are found in only 47 languages, and the uvular fricative and trill occur in only 22 and 4 languages, respectively.
