You actually have [r\`] or even [r`]?!?! I have [r\] in
most places, and sometimes [4] or [r]. I always have the tap [4] after stops, (well
almost in any case). "Andreas" would be [and4e:as]
to me (with a grave pitch accent).

I *never* have [r`] and I only have [r\`] when I speak English
(or rather AmEng). [r`], isn't that the "l" of Dalarna? The
retroflex flap?
