I'm really interested in the different spanish dialects and I'm really interested in the dialect of Equatorial Guinea. So far, I found out that they pronounce the r and rr sound like an l and don't pronounce their final s's. I came across a site that said that they are also yeistas. I assumed it meant the whole yeismo thing. Now I can't figure out if that means the Equatorial guineans pronounce their y's and ll's like an english y sound or if they pronounce it like the argentines and uruguayan which is a zhe sound like in the english measure. Someone please help. Which one would make more sense? It would be greatly appreciated if there were any Equatorial Guineans who could help but anyone who has answer is welcome to post. Please help me.

I have never heard anybody from there.
But yeismo refers to a particular way of pronouncing the "ll" cluster. Here, for instance the word "bello" would be pronounced as /beyo/.
I am not sure though wether the Argentinian "ll" is a form of yeismo or not.
