Thank you. I keep reading about the "River Plate" dialect having all
sorts of odd features but I had no idea where it was. Based on
the lyrics to "What's New, Buenos Aires?" in "Evita", I thought it was a district
of that city. ("Río de la Plata . . . Flórida . . .
Corriente Nueve de Julio . . . All I want to know . . . ").

Thanks again. My Oxford Spanish Dictionary describes the wide
range of variation for this sound and uses the non-IPA symbol /J/
to represent that range, even though a specific genuine IPA symbol
was chosen to represent all the other phonemes. I suspected from the
description that it was [L], but wasn't sure.
