Do they all learn where the "r"s really go?

Lesson over!

As a Southerner, I could really use a Massachusetts to English translator. And then it can be translated to Southern.
I don't know if I can wrap my head around this. I spent one night at work listening to West Virginia come through our Fire Department radio & speaking with Newfoundlanders for hours. By the end of my 8 hours no one could understand me!![]()
OK, OK...lesson on r's for all you non-Massachusetts people.R's disappear from the END of words or syllables. For example cah, caht (or Kaht
) pahk and hahvid. As in "PAHK the CAH in HAHVID YAHD. There is also haya or hey-yah (hair) and hee-yah (here). Now, where do the r's go?? Why it's obvious! Onto words that end in vowels like SODER and VANILLER!

So a Pirate from Massachusetts would sound like "Ahhhhhhhhgh!" Just doesn't have the same ring...
