Freshman :D). My Spanish teacher threw off the class when she was having us
memorize "puedo ir a mi casillero," where she pronounced the ll as /dZ/. Of
course, we're used to the Mexican /L/ whereas she used the Panama /dZ/. Does
anyone know any other dialects that pronounce ll as j? Or why this is so?>>
Despite the fact that I don't know exactly what you mean by /L/,
I can assure you that none of my relatives from Mexico have ever
pronounced "ll" that way. I've only ever heard a mixture between
[j], [Z] and [dZ]. Both "ll" and "y" get pronounced this way, and an
individual speaker can have all three (as I and my grandmother
do).
