Category talk:Pseudo-anglicisms by language

RFM discussion: March–June 2022
I initially created these with these titles because it seemed more common to speak of "pseudo-Latinisms" than "pseudo-loans from Latin", etc... but this means people have to figure out the right "-ism" any time they find a pseudo-borrowing, and the names are not intuitive ("French" but "Gallicism"; "Arabic" but "Arabism" not "Arabicism"; what do you call an Afrikaans pseudo-loan from Xhosa?). I have come to suspect the categories should be renamed to just systematically plug in language names like "(Borrower language) pseudo-loans from (donor)", "Pseudo-loans from (donor) by language", like other derivation categories. - -sche (discuss) 07:57, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Yep - agree with you on the change. No harm in having redirects on the specific if people desperately want to find them that way, I guess. Theknightwho (talk) 15:50, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Makes a lot of sense to me. I can implement this change at some point if no one complains. Benwing2 (talk) 04:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
