Good evening, DU Fam, I have a question about ONE of the languages I'm learning that I can't figure out to [View all]

save my life. I am learning Portugeuse, ("FAIRLY" easy as I have a pretty good knowledge of Italian, Spanish & French.) but can someone, ANYONE tell me why if a sentence ends in a word that is spelled ending with an "r", that word if pronounced as if it ends in a "SH" sound? I don't get it. I'm learning to just go with the flow BUT I need to understand why this is.

I'll be forever grateful.... I understand Magyar, (Hungarian), Czech & Polski but as weird as some of the languages I've learned can be, ( NAVAJO is a TRIP, BTW), I absolutly need to know why this is the case. Is it similar to the Spanish that's spoken in Andalusia with a lisp, supposedly because centuries ago, there was a ruler with a HORRIFICALLY rough lisp or is it just because?
