Habanero (they pronounce it habañero in that "Peter Sagal NPR voice", with a constipated expression and overly-arched eyebrows, also they roll the "r" like crazy)

Jjajangmyeon, naengmyeon, etc (literally everyone gets this wrong, but good luck getting a wh*te flyover to pronounce any Korean food even recognizably, except maybe mandu)

Gouda (they think it rhymes with "buddha")

Kiribath (they think the "-th" is pronounced like the "th-" that prefixes so many vulgar American words)

But honestly you should at least credit them for trying, 99% of wh*te people can't look at anything that isn't on the menu at Olive Garden or (if celebrating a major life event) Cheesecake Factory, without making loud gagging noises and saying something about how I'm allergic to (whatever thing they guessed is in the food, usually incorrectly)

Who are you referring too by they? This is surely not the general pronunciation in America and not at all common

>Jjajangmyeon, naengmyeon
ha, really going fucking obscure here. Why would you possible expect Americans to pronounce this as Koreans do? The vast majority of Americans have probably never even uttered these terms, or even heard them spoken. Its super fucking insane to expect Americans to have the knowledge of the latinization of Korean to the extent to randomly be able to pronounce obscure korean words. Also is your premise that non-American english speakers do pronounce these correctly? Remember, this whole concept only works if these are words that English people do pronounce "correctly, and Americans do not. If Americans and English people pronounce something the same, that is inherently the proper English pronunciation

>Kiribath
Again, not something that Americans are even familiar with, and in English 'th' is typically pronounced as a dental fricative so it would once again be silly for english speakers to not pronounce it as spelled by default.

Do you expect English speakers to have an encyclopedic knowledge of how other languages they almost never hear use latin letters, an then move those words into English preserving the native pronunciation without localization?

The idea that languages should preserve foreign pronunciations and spelling in loan words is a really recent and silly phenomena

>jjajangmyeon is obscure
flyovers are amazing, let me guess you’ve never had phở or even ramen?

[Anonymous No.10624680]

>>10624474
Do you honestly believe the term 'jjajangmyeon' has anywhere near the awareness of pho or ramen in America and Britain? Korean places aren't nearly as common as vietnamese or japanse (or Thai) restaurants in America. meanwhile Pho is the single most recognizable vietnamese dish in America, with many restaurants specifically naming themselves after the dish, with ramen likewise being a specific type of japanese restaurant (not to mention literally everyone being familiar with the shitty cheap ramen packets). Jjajangmyeon is just a single, obscure dish at a somewhat uncommon type of restaurant. Kimchi is probably the only Korean food that most Americans are aware of, and even that is a bit more obscure than pho and ramen

Also using the foreign diacritics when typing "pho" in English is autistic as shit

um, what? either of what? What does that even mean

[Anonymous No.10625001]

>>10624680
t. has never been to the US
Korean is significantly more widespread than Viet food here, there is a widespread fad of serving "pho" but outside of a few enclaves in California (a state on the Pacific Ocean side of the country), none of it is real, and certainly none of it would resemble what Viets call "pho"
