I'm the guy in the video and for the people who missed it: the point is that there are many sounds across languages (not just in my non-rhotic variety of English) that are classed as R-like sounds. Some of these sounds are pronounced are pronounced using the teeth near the lips with the tongue curled back, others by tapping/trilling the tongue against the hard palate, still others are pronounced at the back of the throat but somehow these are all classed as vaguely R-like. This is strange and unique in linguistics. Unlike pretty much every other sound category, the quality of being R-like is based purely on vibes. Whatever sound you think of as R i can 100% guarantee there is another language out there that thinks "that's not what R sounds like. *this* is what R sounds like" and it will be a completely different thing and that different thing might sound like a different letter in your language but for them that is R whereas we all pretty much agree on what P or K sound like. yes I'm oversimplifying but there's only so much time in a tiktok source: my master's degree in linguistics

That’s exactly why the Zulu language doesn’t even recognise it. We replace it with an L.

Neil :
What about slavic languages/Cyrillic alphabet languages where the sound “r” is very profound??

This is true. As a Zulu speaker from 🇿🇦, “R” is the only letter that’s never existed in our vocabulary. Any modern word with an “R” is pronounced as an “L”.
