My fraternal Grandmother, who spoke to us in Castillian Spanish when we were
kids, certainly did not use the "eye" the way they do in Latin America. She
insisted only the "Indios" pronounced the "LL" that way. Don't worry she
wasn't much of a bigot considering she a "Sino-Indio". Maybe she liked him
because he also pronounced "LL" as "elye" (el-yeah) in the Castillian
fashion.
As an example, they pronounced the word for horse, *caballo* as
"kuh-bahl-yoh" vs. the Latin American ""kuh-bah-yoh". Nevermind that this
was in Asia and nowhere near the Americas. In fact, the Spanish Colonist
were never able to get the locals in this Asina (former) colony to say the
word for horse in the Castillian fashion. The natives adopted the word to
their local language. So *kabayo* is how Filipinos say spell and say their
word for horse. No "L" there baby.
