And most important, all words ending in "a" need to be pronounced as ending in "er".
Examples - Dali Lamer, Barack Obamer.
That's not actually how it works.
Correct English goes like this: you drop the "r" at the end of a word which possesses one unless it precedes a vowel. So "I have a daughta" but "I have a daughter and a son." The "r" is conjured into existence by the "a" in "and".
Incorrect English also drops the "r" at the ends of words that have one unless it precedes a vowel; but it also adds an "r" at the end of words that don't merit it because of not having an r in them
when they end with a short unstressed vowel sound and when they precede a vowel, as though they were words like "daughter". So someone who says "I like Obama" would say "I like Obamar and Biden"; someone who says "The Dali Lama lives in Tibet" would say "The Dali Lamar is Tibetan"; Samantha makes me hot" but "Samanthar is a babe".
But
no-one just slaps on an "r" willy-nilly; if it happens at all it only happens before a vowel. If you listen to someone speaking incorrect English they will still drop more Rs that you think should be there than they will add Rs that you think shouldn't.
