# The realization of the rhotic hereafter denoted as {{IPA|/ʁ/}} has a variety of realizations depending on dialect. In Brazil, this sound varies considerably depending on dialect, can be velar, uvular, or [[glottal consonant|glottal]] and may be voiceless unless between voiced sounds.<ref>See {{Harvcoltxt|Mateus & d'Andrade|2000}} for more information</ref>

In northern and central Portugal, the voiced plosives {{IPA|/b/}}, {{IPA|/d/}}, {{IPA|/g/}} are normally lenited to [[fricative]]s (or [[approximant consonant|approximants]]) {{IPA|[β]}}, {{IPA|[ð]}}, and {{IPA|[ɣ]}} respectively), except at the beginning of words, or after nasalized vowels. Also in European pronunciations, the postalveolar fricatves are weakly fricated in the syllable coda. <ref>{{Harvcoltxt|Cruz-Ferreira|1995|p=92}}</ref>

Word final rhotics may be silent when the last syllable is stressed, in colloquial speech (especially in Brazil and some African countries).
At the end of syllables, the [[sibilant consonant|sibilants]] {{IPA|/s/}}, {{IPA|/z/}}, {{IPA|/ʃ/}}, {{IPA|/ʒ/}} occur in [[complementary distribution]]. In most of Brazil, they are alveolar: {{IPA|/s/}} is used before [[voiceless consonant]]s or at the end of words, while {{IPA|/z/}} is used before voiced consonants: e.g. ''isto'' {{IPA|/ˈistu/}}, ''turismo'' {{IPA|/tuˈɾizmu/}}. (This is like in English.) In most of Portugal, and in Rio de Janeiro and some northeastern states of Brazil, syllable-final sibilants have become postalveolar, {{IPA|/ʃ/}} before a voiceless consonant or at the end of a word, and {{IPA|/ʒ/}} before a voiced consonant: ''isto'' {{IPA|/ˈiʃtu/}}, ''turismo'' {{IPA|/tuˈɾiʒmu/}}.
