The accent of Argentina and Uruguay, shaped by a century of Italian immigration. The y and ll are a sh — 'yo' is 'sho' — s weakens to a breath before a consonant, and the melody is unmistakably Italian: long, swinging, with the stress stretched. The grammar is different too: vos instead of tú, with its own verb forms.
Où: Buenos Aires, Montevideo and the River Plate

Italian melody on Spanish words: pitch rises through a stressed syllable and the syllable is stretched. 'Che' as the all-purpose address.

[ʎʝ] → ʃComment: The sh of 'ship', firm and long.
Sheísmo, the single most recognisable feature of Argentine Spanish. Older speakers have the voiced ʒ; the young have moved it all the way to ʃ.

s(?=[pbtdkɡqʔmnɲŋɴfvθðszʃʒɕʂʐçxχɣʁħʕhβʝlʎɹrɾjwɥʈɖɳɽʋɦ]|$| ) → hQuand: when no vowel follows the s
Comment: Breathe out through the s position without touching. A soft English h.
The s is still there in the speaker's head; the tongue just does not reach it. Listeners from Madrid hear 'los' as 'lo' with a breath.
