#hyperforeignism

[unbfacts]

Hyperforeignism is when speakers mispronounce foreign words by applying incorrect patterns, often overcomplicating them. Examples include saying "habanero" as "habañero," "coup de grâce" with an exaggerated French accent, and "Beijing" with a "zh" sound instead of a "j."

PSA: jalapeño has a tilde, habanero does not.

Often, the tilde on the Spanish ñ is lost in English orthography, occasionally with comic effect, leaving English speakers who encounter words in writing to guess where it should be added back in, unintentionally substituting or inventing words like "empañada" for "empanada",[6][7] which changes the meaning in Spanish from "breaded" to "fogged up" and perhaps even "diapered". Cases where the tilde is not added back to words to which it belongs also create inappropriate sentences such as "Tienen dos anos," meaning "They have two anuses," instead of "Tienen dos años," which means "They are two years old."
