This reminds me of a question I've had: During a trip to Madrid I
took
when I was 17, I heard a tour guide mention a painter Bela'fkef,
which
was apparently "Vela'zquez". What I've been trying to figure out is
whether she actually used a voiceless bilabial fricative and if not,
why her voiceless dental fricative sounded like a bilabial instead of
the familiar American dental.
