[R] is so different! I have deep linguistic question about this lettr not just in French but also in German, Spanish and English. Sound [R] exists in all of above languages but it is very different in each of them. How it developed historical that it came to be that different? Was English [r] different before? For example, may be in 14th century it sounded like French one? Don`t hesitate to give me Internet links about this, I just couldn`t find this. I`m interested mostly in fact if English [r] sounded like German or French one before, and then changed? Thanks
