Foreignisms
>Link (the wiki page is categorized as orphaned which fits well with adopted words)
Looking for language-isms as this weeks words are obviously Germanisms, I found Gallicism, Anglicism, Japanism ( not referring to language), Latinism.
I chose one definition for Latinism. Can't get Am.Heritage at the moment:
Webster unabridged: A Latin idiom; a mode of speech peculiar to Latin; also, a mode of speech in another language, as English, formed on a Latin model.
Does 'formed on a Latin model' refer to Spanish , Italian and Portuguese?
I found Italianism, not Spanishism. No Portuguesism. Not Chinesism. One find for Dutchism, a Wiki page. Slavism I found , not defined into seperate Slavic languages.
