The /aɪr/ vowel is different from other r-colored vowels in American English. First, it consists of three sounds merged together so it may be harder to pronounce. Second, the spelling for this vowel seems simple, but if you consider nouns made from verbs ending with the /aɪ/ sound, it gets complicated: "flyer," "liar" and "denier."
