Was listening to a YouTube video of Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and it sounds like he uses a trilled R sound and goes hard in on correr. To the point that R’s that the end of the word seem to have a bit of a tail.
Is this common or more of an affectation for a political speech? Are there areas where a more trilled R is ok when speaking?
@MeuDeus The trilled R is perfectly common in Portugal and even used to be the most common way to pronounce it, historically. The guttural R used to be mostly restricted to the Lisbon region, but ended up spreading, so now both forms coexist across the country.
