R̃ (lower case:r̃), is a LatinR with a diacriticaltilde.
InLithuanian, the R with tilde “R̃, r̃” is rarely used and is found in some grammar texts, dictionaries or textbooks. The tilde is used like thecircumflex, it indicates the longtonic accent. Therefore, the R with a tilde indicates an /r/ that is part of adiphthong with a tonic accent.
It is not to be confused withȒ (R with inverted breve),R̄ (R with macron) orŘ (R with háček).
It was used in theAlbanianAgimi alphabet for thevoiced alveolar trill, now represented by the digraphRr.
It is also used in Hausa to differentiate thealveolar tap /ɾ/, represented by R, from theretroflex one.
In theInternational Phonetic Alphabet,[r̃] represents anasalizedalveolar trill. It is a combination of the IPA symbols⟨r⟩, an alveolar trill (often called therolled R in English), combined with the tilde diacritic, which indicates nasalization.[1]PHOIBLE lists thephoneme[r̃] as an attested sound segment in 10 languages, mostly located in the equatorial regions of Africa.[2]
