  Alveolar tap - The Encyclopedia
The alveolar tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator briefly strikes the other.
Its place of articulation is alveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.

 Rhotic consonant
Trill (popularly known as rolled r): The airstream is interrupted several times as one of the organs of speech (usually the tip of the tongue or the uvula) vibrates, closing and opening the air passage.
If a trill is made with the tip of the tongue against the upper gum, we speak of an apical (tongue-tip) alveolar trill.
Alveolar or retroflex approximant, as in most accents of English (with minute differences): The front part of the tongue approaches the upper gum, or the tongue-tip is curled back towards the roof of the mouth ("retroflexion").

 Trill consonant information - Search.com
In phonetics, a trill is a consonantal sound produced by vibrations between the articulator and the place of articulation.
Whereas with a flap (or tap), a specific gesture is used to strike the active articulator against the passive one, in the case of a trill the articulator is held in place, where the airstream causes it to vibrate.
Epiglottal consonants are often allophonically trilled, and in some languages the trill is the primary realization of the consonant.

 GUTTURAL R : Encyclopedia Entry
Speakers of some languages regard the alveolar and the guttural /r/ to be alternative pronunciations of the same phoneme, which is remarkable in light of how different these sounds are in terms of their articulation.
In Belgium, the usual R is an alveolar trill, but uvular R does occur, mostly in the province of Limburg, in the region around Ghent and in Brussels.
The alveolar pronunciation of R predominates in most of Scandinavia, with additional retroflex pronunciations of consonant clusters /rd/, /rl/, /rn/, /rs/ and /rt/ in most of Norway and Sweden.

The earliest type of /r/ was a strong trill formed by allowing the tip of th tongue to vibrate against the alveolar ridge.
This excessive energy required for the trill has, however, led to a weakening of the sound in most parts of the English-speaking world.
One weaker form is the reduction of the trill to a single tap which is hardly distinguishable from a weak /d/.

In one of these the tongue is raised, so that there is audible frication during the trill, sounding rather like a simultaneous and.

 Flap consonant Information
Trills may be realized as a single contact, like a flap, but are variable, whereas a flap is limited to a single contact.
(However, the latter is rare and may be a palatalized alveolar lateral flap rather than a separate phoneme.) These contrast with lateral approximants at the same positions, as well as a central retroflex flap [ɽ], alveolar trill [r], and retroflex approximant [ɻ].
The symbol for the alveolar lateral flap is the basis for the expected (though not officially recognized) symbol for the retroflex lateral flap,

 Alveolar consonant information - Search.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
However, it is the rearmost point of contact that defines the place of articulation; this is where the oral cavity ends, and it is the resonant space of the oral cavity that gives consonants and vowels their characteristic timbre.

The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
The trill is also found in colloquial and standard Arabic where it is represented by the letter ر.
In English and German dictionaries, the symbol [r] is usually used as a unified symbol for rhotics in those languages, such as the alveolar or retroflex approximant in English (IPA symbols: [ɹ] and [ɻ]) or the uvular trill in German (IPA symbol: [ʀ]).

The alveolar flap is not a phoneme of English, but it occurs as an allophone of [3] and [4] (the voiceless alveolar plosive and voiced alveolar plosive) in North American English and sometimes in Australian and New Zealand English when they occur in unstressed syllables, like in the words rider (or).
The alveolar tap is the single orthographic 'r' between vowels, as in pero ("but"), but not in perro ("dog"), where it is an alveolar trill.
The alveolar tap is common in the Gaelic of Ireland and Scotland, much like the Spanish pronunciation, although the stereotypical (albeit less than common) Scottish alveolar trill is sometimes used.
