Been vısıtıng here for my fırst tıme, great experıence. Learned about the ´r´ prounouncıatıon at the end of the words as ´rsh´. For example ´onlarsh´ or ´onlarş´ for ´onlar´. I asked several Turkısh people here about it and they don´t seem to know what I am talkıng about. I am ın the Izmır area, most people here but not all seem to use ıt. I am so curıous so any ınformatıon about thıs, please let me know. Thanks!

- How dıd thıs start?

- Is thıs related to a modern prounancıatıon? I was watchıng a movıe maybe 70´s and they dıd not use the ´rsh´

- Why aren´t Turkısh speakers aware they are usıng ıt?

- Is thıs a regıonal accent?

No kidding !     

I dont understand what you mean.

I just fınd thıs very ınterestıng.If you lısten closely, can you notıce thıs? Many Turkısh speakers wıll add a ´sh´ or ´ş´ sound when the words end ın ´r´. Maybe on the TV you can see thıs.

I am Turkish and I dont pronounce "ş" after "r". Maybe you hear that way

I would recomment you have Dr. Tao medically check your ears.

A dear friend of mine had started hearing "ş" sound after Turkish words ending with "r". He did not survive that very long. 

Can you hear ıt ın others? Here ıs an excellent lınk on the topıc: http://merhabaforums.com/turkish-language-f29/pronouncing-final-t11431.html            . In thıs lınk a begınner ınsısts they are hearıng ıt and the Turkısh speaker ınsısts they do not use ıt. It ıs a faınt or soft ş. So I may not be accurate to ın descrıbıng ıt as ´rş´. But somethıng ıs there, somethıng ıs after the ´r´. Because some speakers do thıs and some speakers just don´t add anythıng after the ´r´.

Yes I think it is possible that you hear it that way. They are not so distant phonemes. Whether it is really ş or not you can be sure of when you look at the speaker´s face.

ş is pronounced with rounded lips.

Maybe r has a different sound concept in your language. It is possible.
