The [[East Franconian dialect]]s are notable for [[lenition]] of stops /p/ /t/ /k/ to [b], [d], [g]. Thus, a common hypercorrection is the [[fortition]] of properly lenis stops, sometimes including aspiration as evidenced by the speech of [[Günther Beckstein]].

The [[digraph (orthography)|digraph]] ⟨ig⟩ in word-final position is pronounced {{IPA|de|ɪç|}} per the [[Bühnendeutsch]] standard, but this pronunciation is frequently perceived as nonstandard and instead realized as {{IPA|de|ɪɡ̊|}} or {{IPA|de|ɪk|}} ([[final obstruent devoicing]]) even by speakers from [[Dialect continuum|dialect areas]] that pronounce the digraph {{IPA|de|ɪç|}} or {{IPA|de|ɪʃ|}}.

[[Palatinate German language]] speakers are among those who pronounce both the digraph {{angbr|ch}} and the trigraph {{angbr|sch}} as {{IPA|de|ʃ|}}. A common hypercorrection is to produce {{IPA|de|ç|}} even where standard German has {{IPA|de|ʃ|}} such as in [[Helmut Kohl]]'s hypercorrect rendering of "Geschichte", the German word for "history" with a {{IPA|de|ç}} both for the ⟨sch⟩ (standard German {{IPA|de|ʃ|}}) and the {{angbr|ch}}.

Proper names and German loanwords into other languages that have been [[reborrowing|reborrowed]], particularly when they have gone through or are perceived to have gone through the English language are often pronounced "[[hyperforeign]]". Examples include "Hamburger" or the names of [[German-American]]s and the companies named after them, even if they were or are first generation immigrants.

Some German speakers pronounce the [[metal umlaut]] as if it were a "normal" German umlaut. For example, when [[Mötley Crüe]] visited Germany, singer Vince Neil said the band could not figure out why "the crowds were chanting, 'Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh!{{'"}}<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Eric Spitznagel |date=November 27, 2009 |title=Motley Crue's Vince Neil is Finally Bored With Boobs |url=http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2009/11/motley-crues-vince-neil-is-finally-bored-with-boobs |magazine=Vanity Fair}}</ref>
