Re: Spanish ll in different dialects

I wrote of "ll":

<<I've only ever heard a mixture between [j], [Z] and [dZ].>>

Then Roger wrote:

<<I'm a little suspicious of the
[dZ], however-- perhaps we Americans are hearing their somewhat frictional
[j\] as our more familiar affricate (this might also apply to the Japanese
speaker someone mentioned)>>
