Template:Sister project Rhotic is a term in linguistics derived from the Greek letter Rho which may refer to:

  • Rhotic consonant, liquid consonants such as the {{#invoke:IPA|main}} sound in red
  • R-colored vowel, a vowel that is modified in a way that lowers the third formant, such as the {{#invoke:IPA|main}} sound in Midwestern American English pronunciation of fur
    • Erhua (Template:Zh), a phonological process that, in Standard Chinese and other Sinitic languages, adds R-coloring to the final of a syllable
  • Rhoticity in English, the quality of an accent of English allowing syllable-final {{#invoke:IPA|main}}
