/t͡s/ and /d͡z/ exist in free variation. /r/ also exists as a phoneme, but its pronunciation is incredibly variable among Creole speakers. At the very least, it has been attested as an alveolar trill /r/, an alveolar tap /ɾ/, an alveolar approximant /ɹ/, the retroflex tap /ɽ/, the retroflex approximant /ɻ/, uvular trills /ʀ/ or voiced fricatives /ʁ/, and in some cases(particularly with families of Korean and Japanese origin) merging with /l/, particularly in initial positions(''rejo la'' "king" [rejo] > [lejo]). At the most extreme, in the Progmarola dialect, /r/ in non-initial positions is often dropped entirely, as in ''krjolo'' [krjolo] > [kjolo]. | /t͡s/ and /d͡z/ exist in free variation, while /dʒ/ is an allophone of /ʒ/ after /n/. /r/ also exists as a phoneme, but its pronunciation is incredibly variable among Creole speakers.
