  My Spanish textbook uses the phonetic transcription of Revista de
Filología Espan~ola (RFE). In RFE this sound is rendered by "y-
acute" |y^|.

  According to this book it is an allophone of |y| /j/ in absolute
word-initial position (examples: |yo| and |ya|) and after |n| or
|l| (examples: |cónyuge| and |el yerno|).

  There is no mention of dialectal limitations, therefore, it seems
to me that this is a standard pronounciation.
