Mexico (Yucatán)
Mexico · Yucatán Peninsula / Maya Contact
Maya-substrate contact gives Yucatecan Spanish glottal stops in place of dropped codas, occlusive /b d g/ that resist softening, and a lengthened, distinctively rising phrase-final intonation. (Yucatecan Spanish is also documented realizing word-final /n/ closer to [m] in some words, a lexical-phonetic detail this matrix does not model directly.)
