why some English add ‘r’ to some words like Peppa from Peppa pig.

I’m American and cannot figure out how the r is added to Peppa’s name when her dad says it. It sounds like Pepper. Not saying it’s wrong. My brain just needs to connect lol

Most Americans separate vowel terminal words from vowel initial words by shifting pitch between them, or stressing the initial vowel stronger than the terminal vowel, or sometimes even putting a brief glottal stop between the vowels. It varies by regional dialect.

Most Brits throw an R in between them.

That’s basically all there is to it.
