The text says: A distinguishing characteristic of the language is the elimination of the letter r which is frequently used in Sranan Tongo."

Replace "elimination of the letter" by "absence of the phoneme" and give a few examples of Ndyuka words without /r/ that derive from words (in other languages) that do have /r/.S. Valkemirer (talk) 15:50, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
