Well, since we've gone this far... I have yet to land on a singular pronunciation of "yo.". It can vary from the hard Y as in "Joe" to "yo" like yo-yo. My preliminary observation: the farther south one goes in LatAm, the harder/stronger the "y", as in "Joe". But better data is clearly needed. I wonder if linguists have done any mapping of Spanish as has been done for American usages? -TJ On Feb 23, 2014 6:50 PM, "Steve Smith" <[email protected]> wrote:
