I'm interested in what are the phones for the sounds g, c, z and s in Latino American Spanish as in gitano, trencito, zorro and casa, respectively. There are a few sites that have online conversion to phonetic transcription, but I couldn't find one that generates the transcription specifically for Latino American Spanish.

    I do not think you mean phonemes? Perhaps phones?

  • @mdewey I see what you mean, the first sound in gitano could be [x] or [h], but the word has the same meaning.

The phonemes are /x, s, s, s/ in that order. The allophonic realization of /x/ in many Latino accents, however, is [h].
