A rhotic speaker is someone who pronounces the "r" sound clearly in words, especially after a vowel, as heard in accents like American English. Non-rhotic speakers, on the other hand, do not pronounce the "r" sound in certain positions, like in British English accents.

Why do British people pronounce words ending in A like ER example if they say the Diana they will say it like Dianer or Bella will be Beller Just curious?
Which British dialect adds an "r" to a word which doesn't possess one? I've not heard of one such. English is split into two groups, rhotic and non-rhotic, meaning the "r'' at the end of words is pronounced in rhotic dialects and elided in non-rhotic. An example of this is the pronunciation of the Australian city Melbourne- Australians (who have a non-rhotic variety of English) pronounce it "mel-bin" (the "i" being very soft) while many Americans saw "Mel- boRn" with the "r" pronounced distinctly (much to the amusement of Australians). Similarly, rhotic speakers will pronounce the "r" in "author".South-western accents, towards Cornwall, Devon and Bristol tend to add "R"s. The Forest of Dean commonly do this too - it's common in and around Cinderford. Listen to the Archers on Radio 4 for more examples!
