It began with one direct current generator , and it started generating electricity on September 4, 1882. New York Telephone put up

180-457: A voiced palatal affricate [ ɟʝ ] , sounding somewhat like ⟨j⟩ in English jar , especially when appearing after /n/ or /l/ or at the beginning of a word. For example, relleno is pronounced [reˈʝeno] and conllevar is pronounced [koɲɟʝeˈβaɾ] or [kondʒeˈβaɾ] . In dialects where /ʎ/ is maintained, its pronunciation involves constriction in both

225-472: A voiced postalveolar fricative [ ʒ ] ; this is referred to as zheísmo . The [ ʒ ] sound itself may have originated in Argentina and Uruguay as an influence from the local Amerindian languages on the colonial Spanish spoken by the area's inhabitants of that time; the pronunciation then persisted after the mass immigration of post-colonial Italians, Germans, Spaniards and more into

270-487: A distinction between /ʎ/ and /ʝ/ is more common in areas where Spanish coexists with other languages, either with Amerindian languages, such as Aymara , Quechua , and Guaraní , which, except for Guaraní, themselves possess the phoneme /ʎ/ , or in Spain itself in areas with linguistic contact with Catalan and Basque . The presence of non- yeísta areas in parts of south-central Chile may likewise be associated with

315-728: A large administrative building at 375 Pearl Street , on the north side of the street east of the Brooklyn Bridge , in the early 1970s. Built in 1991, the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street houses the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York . In 2014, playwright and theater artist Toni Schlesinger 's The Mystery of Pearl Street about

360-402: A number of cases. For example, the following word pairs sound the same when pronounced by speakers of dialects with yeísmo , but they are minimal pairs in regions with the distinction: The relatively low frequency of both /ʝ/ and /ʎ/ makes confusion unlikely. However, orthographic mistakes are common (for example, writing llendo instead of yendo ). A notable case is the name of

405-580: A painting by Richard Haas in the New York Public Library Main Branch ’s DeWitt Wallace Periodicals Room . As of 2018, the company, now known as HarperCollins , is headquartered at 195 Broadway .

540-601: A visit on the first day. Netflix , the international distributor for the series, also organized two separate pop-up events in Italy on May 12–13 at real fried chicken restaurants in Rome and Milan which were decorated to look like Los Pollos Hermanos restaurants. In 2017, the Los Pollos Hermanos Employee Training miniseries was released as a promotion for Better Call Saul Season 3 . It won

585-506: Is due to the fact that it generally followed the original eastern shoreline of the lower part of Manhattan Island, until the latter half of the 18th century when years of landfill extended the shoreline roughly 700–900 feet (200-300m) further into the East River , first to Water Street and later to Front Street. The colony's first church was built in 1633, during the tenure of director Wouter van Twiller at 39 Pearl Street, just outside

630-574: Is featured as a front organization for Gus Fring 's methamphetamine manufacturing and distribution operation, but is also highly regarded by the general public of the Southwest as a regional chain on par with KFC . The set used for the restaurant's Albuquerque location in the show was at a Twisters branch in South Valley, New Mexico , and Twisters has seen an increase in business attributed to being associated with Breaking Bad . Due to

675-409: Is found in southern Antioquia Department and the southeast end of Norte de Santander Department . A greater portion of Andean Colombia maintains the distinction between [ ʎ ] and [ ʝ ] . Overall, Colombia presents great variety with regards to yeísmo . The same shift from [ ʎ ] to [ ʒ ] to [ ʃ ] (to modern [ x ] ) historically occurred in

720-590: Is theorized to have occurred long before the 20th century, and affected both Ecuadorian Spanish and Quechua ; historically (through the early 17th century), Spanish speakers in this area had maintained distinctions between [ ʒ ] , /ʎ/, [ ʝ ] . This three-way distinction is still present in the Quechua of more southerly regions, such as the Azuay province , which uses the graphemes <zh>, <ll>, and <y> to distinguish between these phonemes. In

765-668: Is typically thought of as a southern phenomenon, there are several isolated, rural, Asturleonese -speaking areas where yeísmo is found even among elderly speakers. These include the valley of Nansa , Tudanca , and Cabuérniga , all in Cantabria . This is evidence that the existence of yeísmo in the southern half of the Peninsula and beyond may be due to the arrival of Astur-leonese settlers, who already had yeísmo , and subsequent dialect levelling in newly reconquered southern communities. Yeísmo produces homophony in

810-536: The [ ʒ ] sound has recently been devoiced to [ ʃ ] ( sheísmo ) among younger speakers. Both zheísmo and sheísmo are types of yeísmo , which refers only to the lack of a phonemic distinction between /ʎ/ and /ʝ/ , not to any particular phonetic realization of the merged phoneme. Comparatively, within the Ecuadorian Sierra region (spanning from the Imbabura to

855-547: The Chimborazo Provinces , where the pronunciation of /ʎ/ as [ ʒ ] survives among the majority population of colonial-descended mestizos), the sibilant has not merged, as in Argentina and Uruguay; a distinction is also maintained, but with ⟨ll⟩ representing [ ʒ ] , rather than the original Spanish [ ʎ ] sound, and ⟨y⟩ representing [ ʝ ] . The shift from /ʎ/ to [ ʒ ] in this region of Ecuador

900-485: The fort . In 1652 a wooden defensive wall was constructed along the town's northern perimeter to protect against possible attack by English colonists.

945-497: The orthography of several Ecuadorian dialects of Quechua, under the influence of the orthography of Ecuadorian-Andean Spanish, the grapheme ⟨ll⟩ is also used to represent the [ ʒ ] sound. Parts of Colombia , similarly to the Andean regions of Ecuador, maintain a distinction between ⟨ll⟩ representing [ ʒ ] and ⟨y⟩ representing [ ʝ ] . This type of distinction

When the elevated structure was removed, members of the India House at 1 Hanover Square proposed a maritime-themed park at Pearl Street and Hanover Square. The park

1080-405: The alveolar or post-alveolar area and in the palatal area. Its duration when between vowels is 20% longer than that of a simple /l/ , and the formant transitions to the following vowel are nearly twice as long. Replacing /ʎ/ with /ʝ/ can thus be considered a type of lenition since it results in a lower degree of closure. In most of Argentina and Uruguay , the merged sound is pronounced as

1125-465: The award for Short Form Comedy or Drama Series at the 69th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards . On January 20, 2018, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the beginning of Breaking Bad , the Twisters location used to film the restaurant on the show was temporarily renovated for a single day to look like Los Pollos Hermanos. The occasion was paid for by "superfans" Edward Candelaria and Marq Smith, and

1170-542: The development of Old Spanish ; this accounts for such pairings as Spanish mujer vs Portuguese mulher , ojo vs olho , hija vs filha and so on. The distinction between /ʝ/ and /ʎ/ remains in the Philippines , Andean Ecuador and Peru , Paraguay , both highland and lowland Bolivia , and the northeastern portions of Argentina that border Paraguay. Parts of Chile that neighbour Bolivia are traditionally non- yeísta . The retention of

1215-438: The distinction, but yeísmo has spread throughout the country, and the distinction is now lost in most of Spain, particularly outside areas in linguistic contact with Catalan and Basque. In monolingual, urban northern Spain, a distinction between /ʝ/ and /ʎ/ only exists among the oldest age groups in the upper classes. Although northern, rural areas of Spain are typically associated with lack of yeísmo , and yeísmo

1260-443: The eastern shore of New Amsterdam , together with Schreyers Hook Dock (cf. Amsterdam's Schreierstoren ) built by Broad Canal as the city's first wharf in 1648. It was named for the many oysters found in the river. During the period of British rule, Pearl Street was known as Great Queen Street. The "Great" was used often to differentiate from Little Queen Street, which became Cedar Street in 1784. Pearl Street's irregular course

1305-557: The first printing press in the colony. The Walton Mansion at 326 Pearl Street was a four story house built in 1752 prior to the American Revolution , known as the scene of extravagant parties.

Herman Melville

1350-665: The geographical overlap of the Mapuche . By 1989, several traditionally non- yeísta areas, such as Bogotá and much of Spain and the Canaries, had begun rapidly adopting yeísmo , in the span of little more than a single generation. In areas where yeísmo is variable, [ʎ] is lost more often in rapid and casual speech. There is also an idiolectal correlation between yeísmo and speech rate, with fast-speaking individuals being more likely to be yeísta . By 2009 there were evidence that yeísmo had begun appearing in

1395-485: The hands of Walter White ( Bryan Cranston ) and Hector Salamanca ( Mark Margolis ), the chain was closed, with the flagship restaurant in Albuquerque being replaced with a Twisters (the same restaurant which is used as the filming set in real-life). While Breaking Bad was still being aired in 2013, Twisters claimed to have received a 10% increase in revenue due to its association with Breaking Bad . In 2014,

1440-433: The island of Mallorca : since Mallorcans tend to pronounce intervocalic /ʎ/ as /ʝ/, central Catalan scribes assumed the authentic (and correct) name Maiorca was another case of this and hypercorrected it to Mallorca . This new form ended up becoming the usual pronunciation, even for native Mallorcans. Pearl Street (Manhattan) Pearl Street takes its name from a prominent Lenape shell midden that

1485-468: The outskirts of Albuquerque served as a front where the incoming meth was processed and shipped to the various stores and other destinations. Fring kept the restaurants themselves clean of any business related to drugs. The company eventually became a subsidiary of a fictional German shipping conglomerate, Madrigal Electromotive GmbH , whose connections Fring used to further increase the outreach of both his legal and illegal operations. After Fring's death at

1530-647: The phoneme / ʝ / (written ⟨y⟩ ). It is an example of delateralization . In other words, ⟨ll⟩ and ⟨y⟩ represent the same sound [ ʝ ] when yeísmo is present. The term yeísmo comes from one of the Spanish names for the letter ⟨y⟩ ( ye ). Over 90% of Spanish speakers exhibit this phonemic merger. Similar mergers exist in other languages, such as French , Italian , Hungarian , Catalan , Basque , Portuguese or Galician , with different social considerations. Occasionally,

1575-622: The premiere of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie . The food court at the University of Aberdeen features a fried chicken outlet with Los Pollos Hermanos branding. Ye%C3%ADsmo Yeísmo ( Spanish pronunciation: [ɟʝeˈismo] ; literally "Y-ism") is a distinctive feature of certain dialects of the Spanish language , characterized by the loss of the traditional palatal lateral approximant phoneme / ʎ / (written ⟨ll⟩ ) and its merger into

1620-479: The region, which effectively transformed the region's demographics and affected various aspects of the Spanish language there, including (most noticeably) intonation. Prior to this post-colonial mass immigration wave, like most other South American countries, the populations of Argentina and Uruguay were similarly composed of a mestizo majority (those of mixed Spaniard and Amerindian ancestry); in Buenos Aires ,

1665-490: The show's popularity, Los Pollos Hermanos has appeared on numerous occasions as a real-life pop-up restaurant . The real life restaurant serves the same menu items as in the show.

An apocryphal story as told in a fictional television commercial suggests that it

1710-406: The speech of Ecuador's middle and upper classes. In south-central Chile yeísmo was already dominant in the first half of the 20th century but grew further at the expense of non- yeísta areas over the course of the century. In Spain, most of the northern half of the country and several areas in the south, particularly in rural Huelva, Seville, Cádiz, and part of the Canaries used to retain

1755-436: The term lleísmo ( pronounced [ʎeˈismo] ) has been used to refer to the maintenance of the phonemic distinction between /ʝ/ and /ʎ/ . Most dialects that merge the two sounds represented by ⟨ll⟩ and ⟨y⟩ realize the remaining sound as a voiced palatal approximant [ ʝ ] , which is much like ⟨y⟩ in English your . However, it sometimes becomes

1800-482: Was allegedly unsanctioned by Sony Pictures or AMC. The event also coincided with the beginning of filming for Better Call Saul Season 4 , and several Breaking Bad cast members, including Ian Posada ( Brock Cantillo ) and Jeremiah Bitsui ( Victor ), appeared at the event.

In December 1853 a fire destroyed the premises, but the brothers built a large cast-iron building designed by architect James Bogardus , which was connected to a second structure on Cliff Street by cast-iron walkways. The building was demolished in 1925, but is memorialized in

2025-597: Was located on its southern section, and that may have also marked a Lenape canoe landing. The colonial history of Pearl Street dates back to the early 1600s. A cow path at first, it was laid out in 1633. It lay along a beachy area known as the Strand . Its name is an English translation of the Dutch Parelstraat (written as Paerlstraet around 1660).
