Comment: << review queue entry 63863 - submitted by 'monigeria' >>
This is a bit of a hard one to define.

https://chinese.stackexchange.com/q/33133/4136
q: Documentation of 不+“x” contractions resulting in “r” sounding initial consonant?
a: 不知道 (bù zhī dào) → 不儿道 (bùr rào)

also one comment on the page:
不知道 sometimes reads bu ri dao, even bu rao, as well as that 告诉你 reads as gaor ni, and 就这样 reads as jiu zhang. – 賈可 Jacky Mar 6 at 4:57

例如:“不知道” /pu51 ʈ͡ʂɨ55 tao51/0-2/在北京話中變為 「不兒道」/puɻ55 tao51/

I've kept the main pinyin as standard as possible and I've added my best attempt at pinyin-izing these colloquial pronunciations in the definition.
-----------------------------------

Editor: In my opinion, for this type of entry, we need someone with expertise in Chinese phonetics to process. I am not such a person, and nobody else has stepped forward to process in the two years since this was submitted. I'll do my best now, but I hope I don't have to deal with this sort of thing again. It's hard to find reliable sources for contracted forms. And there are sometimes multiple contracted pronunciations for a word, which makes things even more complicated. The prospect of checking all these pronunciations is not something I'd enjoy doing. No video/audio samples were provided in this submission, and even if they were, I wouldn't be the best person to transcribe them into pinyin.

Wikipedia mentions examples like 中央電視台, which is apparently sometimes pronounced like 裝墊兒台. I think this whole area is outside of what we can reasonably deal with.

Regarding 不儿道, I've gone with the pronunciation given in the quoted Wikipedia article: /puɻ55 tao51/
So I've used 1st tone (55) for 不儿 instead of 4th tone (51).
Diff:
# 不兒道 不儿道 [bu4 r5 dao4] /(coll.) to not know/also pr. [bu4 ri5 rao4]/also pr. [bu4 rao4]/
+ 不兒道 不儿道 [bu1 r5 dao4] /(dialect) contracted form of 不知道[bu4 zhi1 dao4])/
