===Hyperforeignism=== {{main|Hyperforeignism}} Hyperforeignism arises from speakers misidentifying the distribution of a pattern found in loanwords and extending it to other environments. The result of this process does not reflect the rules of either language.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wells |first=John Christopher |author-link=John C.

Similarly, the z in ''[[chorizo]]'' is sometimes pronounced as /ts/ (as if it were Italian), whereas the original Spanish pronunciation has {{IPA|/θ/}} or {{IPA|/s/}}.
