Asturleonese does not have yeísmo, the /ʎ/ sound exists in Asturleonese and it is distinguished from /ʝ-j/. Asturleonese /ʎ/ comes from latin ll (such as collar from latin collāris), from initial l palatization (eg: llabrar [ʎaˈβɾaɾ] from latin labōrāre) and also from spontaneous (non-etymological) palatization (eg: pallabra, colloráu, parllar). The thing is the latin clusters gl, pl, fl, li that give /ʎ/ in Galician-Portuguese give /ʝ/ in Asturleonese (except Mirandese and Sayaguese) thus getting "muyer" from "mulier" (gl: muller), but this is not yeísmo, the /ʎ/ sound still exists, just that it doesn't come from the same places as Galician.

For anyone familiar with Spanish dialects, yeismo implies total absence of the [ʎ] sound, so if that is not what is meant, the word should be taken out of this page. About the videos, nowadays virtually everyone who speaks Spanish in Spain is a yeista, and since Leonese is being replaced by Spanish, it's not surprising that the remaining Leonese speakers have become yeistas too. --Jotamar (talk) 23:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
It wouldn't be strange that because of the heavy Castilian influence in León, many leonese speakers became yeístas, but in Asturias, for example where I'm from, most people are not yeísta and do pronounce and distinguish /ʎ/ (this except the younger population in big cities but they'd never speak Asturian anyway) Fueyo221 (talk) 10:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Furthermore, there are asturleonese that have yeísmo, Cabrales and areas of the Montaña Central (Ayer, Oseya de Sayambre...) mainly, and this is noted in the DGLA for example: llorar (in variants there's the yeísmo variant yorar documented only in Cabrales and Ayer) Fueyo221 (talk) 11:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Now, changing the wording is not easy. On the one hand, the current text is misleading, but on the other hand it is referenced. Suggestions? --Jotamar (talk) 20:59, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
