As Long as It Sounds Foreign	comment	Many shows and movies don't bother getting a foreign language right when they portray them. The incidence of this increases along with the obscurity of the language. It is easily explained away as native speakers are hard to get, especially if the country of origin is on the other side of the globe and the language is fairly obscure. Even if you finally get one, he might not be so helpful if he has a poor knowledge about the aspects of his own language that the work specifically needs to use. Or simply he's a poor actor or a poor choice for the role (while non-native actors won't be able to correctly pronounce phrases in a language they don't speak). And that's assuming there even still are any native speakers. But first and foremost, if the intended audience won't be able to tell the difference anyway, why bother? A somewhat more redeeming justification is that the show isn't supposed or expected to accurately portray a real-life language. A variation on this is that the foreigners speak English, but are identified as foreign by an accent or are parading universally known national images. Names appear especially hard to get right, even European ones, which is all the stranger as most American naming conventions haven't ventured far from their origin. This is why we see female Russians with masculine surnames and patronymics used as names or surnames, or why most French characters in comedic works tend to have a name composed of an English word preceded by a random "Le" or "La". This could be explained if their name was anglicized, though the practice has fallen out of favor in recent decades. Amusingly: when this trope is applied to a character's name, it often results in a Dub Name Change when a work is exported to the country where said character is supposed to be from—since the original name would sound ridiculous to audiences in that country who actually know the culture. For example: in the Japanese dub of Star Trek, Hikaru Sulu's name is "Hikaru Kato"; in most Japanese translations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles works, Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki are renamed "Yoshihama Takeshi" and "Oroku Sawaki"; and in the Chinese translations of the Harry Potter books, Cho Chang is renamed "Zhang Qiu". On the flip side: the American-born Maximillion Pegasus was originally named "Pegasus Crawford" before Yu-Gi-Oh! was exported to the United States. This tends to be even more common in Eastern works, where writers usually tend to have even less experience with other cultures, leading to results that would seem more at home in Middle-Earth than any existing place on Earth. Contrast with Gratuitous Foreign Language (and all its subtropes), where the writers take care to give characters lines in a foreign language â€” which are often poorly rendered by the actors. Contrast also with Poirot Speak, where everyone in the native country has an elementary education in their native language but can only say the hard words in heavily accented English. Contrast also with Famous-Named Foreigner, when in an attempt to avert this trope, the author manages to give his foreign character a real name... albeit belonging to a famous historical character, which often leads to ridiculous results. When a work is named with this trope, it may result in a Word PurÃ©e Title. See also Foreign-Looking Font, Fictionary, Black Belt in Origami and Unintelligible Accent. See also Speaking Simlish. Canis Latinicus and El Spanish "-o" are subtropes specifically dealing with Latin and Spanish affixes, respectively. Ching Chong is a subtrope for Chinese. Camp Wackyname is this for fake Native American names for summer camps. Also consider Esperanto, the Universal Language. For hilariously inverted examples of this trope, watch here (fake German), or here and here (fake English). CAUTION: This trope may lead to stumped subtitlers.

Yolei sounds Japanese to non-speakers but can't actually be written in Japanese characters. The third season, meanwhile, has a Hispanic little girl named Chico, which means "boy" in Spanish,note This may have come from how many Japanese feminine names end in "-ko" and the writers not knowing this is unique to Japan so the dub changed her name to the much more plausible Rosa.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Storm's first name "Ororo" is not an actual African name, let alone a Kenyan one. The Cajun mutant, Gambit, likes to toss some French into his dialogue. He sometimes calls Rogue "chÃ©ri" (darling)... which would be nice if he weren't using the masculine form of the word. Luckily for our grammatically-challenged hero, there is no audible difference between "chÃ©ri" and "chÃ©rie". Kurt (aka Nightcrawler)'s Gratuitous German often gets misspelled so that he ends up calling girls "camisole" instead of the intended "sweetheart" or "darling" ("Liebchen"). Hudlin had him utter "Lieberstesh". Blackwing (previously known as Beak) is a mutant who was said to be from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. His real name is Barnell Bohusk, which isn't much of a Dutch name at all. Sunpyre has the highly implausible first name of Leyu, which isn't even remotely Japanese. For one thing, the Japanese language doesn't have an "L" sound. Even if you assume that his name is a Romanized form of something like "Reyu", that's still not a real Japanese name. The closest real Japanese name to "Leyu" is "Rei". Colossus' real name is Piotr Nikolayevitch Rasputin. "Rasputin" is a common surname in the area of Russia where he's from, which is fine. And the patronymic is correct, even better. Then his sister Illyana Rasputin is introduced. Slight oops: since Russian surnames have masculine and feminine forms, her last name ought to be "Rasputina". The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe eventually gives her full name as "Illyana Nikolaivitch Rasputina (Anglicized to Rasputin)", but even that isn't completely right: Russian patronymics have masculine and feminine forms too, and "Nikolayevitch" ("son of Nikolai") is a masculine patronymic; since Illyana's a girl, her middle name should be "Nikolayevna" ("daughter of Nikolai"). Eventually, about forty years after her introduction, this was corrected. New Mutants' Roberto da Costa sometimes says sentences in Spanish... even though he came from Brazil, where the language is Portuguese. (His native language remains Portuguese, so it's not simply a case of speaking a minority language for his country.) Silver Samurai's real name is Kenuichio Harada. You won't find a single person in Japan called Kenuichio. In Japanese translations, his name is Kenichiro. In the movie, "Kenuichio" is dropped entirely. We never learn his given name, or if Harada is erroneously being used as such. Apocalypse's birth name is said to be "En Sabah Nur", which is said to mean "The First One", hinting at the fact that he's one of the first documented mutants in history. Not only does "En Sabah Nur" not actually mean "The First One" (it roughly means "The Morning Light"), it's an Arabic phrase. Apocalypse was born in Egypt around 3,000 B.C., several millennia before the Arabic language existed. Quicksilver, who hails from the fictional Eastern European country of Transia, was born "Pietro Maximoff". While "Maximoff" is a real Eastern European surname (albeit a very rare one), "Pietro" is an Italian name, being the Italian variant of "Peter". The writers at least have the cop-out of his being from a fictional country, but most other characters from around there have names that fit geographically. The Romanian variant of Peter is Petru, which sounds rather close to Pietro. The assassin Kwannon (best known as the woman whom Psylocke swapped bodies with) is ostensibly Japanese. "Kwannon" is a rarely used Japanese variant of "Guan Yin", the name of a Chinese Buddhist goddess associated with mercy and compassion (the most common Japanese variant of her name is "Kannon"). Granted, it is at least a real name, but it still isn't something that a Japanese parent would name their child.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Quincy techniques are German-influenced that either translate into nothing or are very bad uses of German words and grammar. For example, Seeleschneider, "soul-cutter/tailor", should be Seelenschneider. The Vandenreich's kanji mean "unseen empire". While "reich" is German, "vanden" or "wanden" doesn't seem to be an actual word. It might be a misreading of "vonden" ("of the") or an example of Kubo's musical obsession by being a nod to German metal band Vanden Plas (who themselves are car fans and named themselves after the Flemish coachbuilders that eventually gave their names to a Jaguar brand). Several members' names are similarly foreign sounding, and by far the most unusual has to be BG9, (pronounced as the German "Be Ge Neun"). The Arrancar have Spanish-named zanpakuto, with a few strange exceptions, such as video game-exclusive Arturo Plateado having a zanpakuto named "Fenice" (not "FÃ©nix" as has been erroneously claimed), which is Italian. Gantenbainne Mosqueda's zanpakuto, though, is named "Dragra", which doesn't seem to mean anything in any language. The Arrancar themselves have some curious vaguely European names, although several have been confirmed as deliberate misspellings based on real people. The Hollows have some reasonable variation names such as "Demi Hollow", "Huge Hollow", and "Menos Grande" (presumably broken Spanish for "big minus", but it literally means "less big"), but the names of the Menos stages, "Gillian", "Adjuchas", just seem to be made-up words.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_208caf16	comment	07-Ghost is a series set in a European-style world. That explains the use of western words and names. Especially when the names in question arenâ€™t actual names. Usually they are random German words, or just Gibberish. Combined with proper Japanese names. And in cases of in-universe terms, they probably just pick a word from a random language. One example would be the god of death, who is from some reason named â€œVerlorenâ€� which means â€œlostâ€� in German. Or the terms â€œKorâ€� and â€œbasculeâ€�. Or the seven ghosts, who are called Zehel, Fest (means firm/firmly/feast in German), Profe, Randkalt (German again. â€œRandâ€� is edge and â€œKaltâ€� is cold, and therefore â€œRandkaltâ€� means â€œedge coldâ€�) , Rilect (maybe itâ€™s supposed to be â€œRelictâ€�), Ea, and Vertrag (contract in German). And then there are the names Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs (Wahrheit means truth in German), Weldeschtein Krom Raggs (Krom means â€œfurthermoreâ€� in Czech, but thatâ€™s probably not what they meant. And Weldeschtein could be â€œWaldsteinâ€� which sounds enough like a German surname, or a rather believable Yiddish surname, though they probably werenâ€™t meant to be Jewish with all the crosses around the place). Fea isnâ€™t a word, but it resembles a few real names. Female ones. And Frau. Okay, heâ€™s a womanizer, but is that really a reason to name him â€œwomanâ€�?!

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_225494af	comment	The Grudge 2: Kayako Saeki's mother is revealed to have the full name "Nakagawa Kawamata", which is an unacceptable Japanese name because both words are surnames, and very noticeable ones at that. (Surname being used as given name is not a fad in Japan.) This is especially bizarre since the film's director, Takashi Shimizu, is an ethnic Japanese, so he should have pointed this out.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_24eb97b7	comment	Black Widow was first introduced as "Natasha Romanov." One writer finally got her name right, "Natalia Romanova." About half the writers still get it wrong, and it's still wrong in her film adaptations. In the fine tradition of cool Russian nicknames, however, "Natasha" is an acceptable nick for "Natalia". We still have to paper over "Romanoff/Romanov" as her Anglicizing her surname, but it's entirely plausible so it does not draw much attention.

His name was pronounced "oo-MAH-gah" by everyone except William Regal, who pronounced it "yoo-MAN-gah" â€” which, amusingly, is much closer to actual Samoan pronunciation (it'd actually be "oo-MAH-ngah", with the "ng" from "thing" not from "congo"; no syllable in Samoan can end on a consonant).

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons "Krusty Gets Kancelled" features "Worker and Parasite," a cat and mouse cartoon that looks like an old propaganda cartoon from an Eastern Bloc country. The dialogue is vaguely-Slavic nonsense, and the title card and end credits feature fake Cyrillic text ("ENDUT! HOCH HECH!") that does not translate into anything. In the episode where the Germans purchase the power plant, Smithers' German suck-up tapes do teach accurate German, but the German the owners speak to each other is nonsense. In "King of the Hill" the creators wanted to avoid this for the native language of the Sherpa characters and so contacted the producers of the movie Into Thin Air, which featured the language extensively. They were disappointed to find that the movie producers had used this trope.

"Arystar Krory" was named after Aleister Crowley, but the author deliberately went with a different spelling ("Alistair Crawley" could be a plausible substitute, though). There is also a Mexican man with the name "Winters Socalo", a German woman named "Miranda Lotto", two Chinese siblings named "Lenalee" and "Komui", and an American man named "Tup Dop". "Marie" is a man, and it seems that's his last name, meaning his first name is "Noise". A woman whose name was spelled "Crea" in the series itself has her name more correctly spelled "Claire" in a data book. "Jasdevi" are supposed to be American and while "Devitto" is apparently "David" mispronounced his brother "Jasdero" did not get so lucky.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Many of the characters of non-British origin have names that do not fit their background. "Cho Chang" is usually cited as an example and almost sounds like a slur, so the Chinese translation renamed her "ZhÄ�ng QiÅ«" (which sounds somewhat similar). However, Cho could actually be a subversion, likely in a case of Accidentally-Correct Writing. The name can be interpreted to be rendered in the more archaic Wade-Giles romanization system (more commonly used by the "old-stock" Chinese diaspora). Cho Chang converts to "Zhuo Zhang" in modern Pinyin. Zhuo (å€¬) is a fairly common unisex given name in Chinese, and can be rendered in other perfectly valid given names in Chinese. Bulgarian surnames almost always end in -ov/-ev (male) or -ova/-eva (female), but Viktor Krum and his Bulgarian Quidditch team-mates have surnames that do not fit this pattern. The name of Durmstrang Institute sounds German, but doesn't actually mean anything (though it resembles, and might have been inspired by, the phrase "Sturm und Drang" - storm and stress). Just to make matters worse, Durmstrang is said to be located in far northern Europe (most likely northern Norway), not Germany.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_3f5ec5bb	comment	In Armed Girl's Machiavellism, Choka U. Barazaki demands to be called "Regina delle Farfalle" ("Queen of the Butterflies" in Italian), as she says she's Italian. Her pronunciation in the anime, however, is horrible, and she actually mangles "Regina della Farfalla", meaning "Queen of the Butterfly". Possibly intentional, as she's actually Japanese and trying badly to pass herself as Italian to maintain continuity with her older sister figure Mary KikakujÅ�, who is half-French.

This is deliberate parody of the trope - the Japanese subtitles (which the English subs of the scene follow) are far more eloquent, often to the point where they have very little to do with what is spoken. It's also lampshaded in the English dub. Originally, when the soldier asks her "What is your purpose?" in a really strong Japanese accent, Excel just responds "I don't know." In the dub, she says "A big fish?"

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden uses mostly fake and/or ungrammatical Latin for magic words. This is explained as a sort of emotional boundary from the spells, and it's noted that, when working spells, the important bit is not so much the words themselves, but rather that the words sound right to the individual using the spell. (It's also established in one of the novels that Harry's grasp of actual Latin, used instead of English in meetings of the White Council of wizards, is terrible. As he repeatedly says, "Damn correspondence course." â€” but the book also mentions the magic words won't work as boundary if you actually understand them, meaning he'd have to switch to another language if he actually learned Latin). In another book, he mentions that a female wizard he grew up with prefers using pseudo-Egyptian in her spells. In Dead Beat, there was a book titled Die Lied der Erlking. Presumably Jim got a lot of mail correcting him, because when Harry runs into the guy who wrote it, he mocks him for his terrible grammar.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_44715363	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh!: A minor example in Funimation's short lived uncut dub: in 4Kids' original English dub of the anime, most characters were subject to a Dub Name Change. For example, Hiroto Honda was renamed to Tristan Taylor. For the uncut dub, a compromise was decided upon to use the dub's first name along with the original Japanese surname, so in this instance, Tristan Honda. The exception to this is the character known in the west as Joey Wheeler, as his first name is taken from the surname of his Japanese iteration, Katsuya Jonouchi. As a result, this dub named him Joey Katsuya, effectively giving him a personal name in place of a legitimate Japanese family name. Most of the ancient Egyptian character names in the Millennium World arc fall headlong into this. Some (Atem, Seto, Isis) pass muster because they're derived from actual Egyptian gods' names, and Siamun shares his name with a historical pharaoh, but many are clearly made up (Mahado, Mana, Shada, Kisara) or are anachronistically Arabic (Karim, Hasan). Akhenaden and Akhenamkhanen's names might be very loosely based on Akhenaten's.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld Nanny Ogg usually manages to make herself understood no matter where she goes, although her linguistic approach is described as "gabbling away in her own personal Esperanto". "Excuse me, young homme! Trois beers avec us, silver plate", or 'Mein herr! Mucho vino avec zei grassy ass', for instance. The Colour of Magic: Rincewind's identity in our world is a Swedish scientist named "Dr. Rjinswand", which is nothing like a Swedish name. (In the Swedish translation, his nationality is changed to Dutch; though, confusingly, they left in the bit about his language sounding "Hublandish", the Discworld's equivalent of "northern".) Twoflower becomes a German tourist with the last name "Zweiblumen", which is correct, but translates to "Twoflowers" (a straight translation of his name would be "Zweiblume"). In the Dutch version, he is named Tweebloesem (Twoblossom); the literal translation of Twoflower would be 'Tweebloem'. As the page quote indicates, the people of Ankh-Morpork don't seem to be particularly concerned with what part of Klatch something is taking place in. Klatch has variously stood in for either the Middle East or Darkest Africa, especially in earlier books, hence the debate in ''Moving Pictures' over whether they should address the locals as "bwanas" or "effendies."

With that said, the Japan-obsessed leader of the Dutch diplomats has a non-Dutch surname (his name is"Isaac Kitching", although it may be justified as a way to distance the character from an actual Dutch diplomat from the rough time period, "Isaac Titsingh"). Also, in-universe, Manzo's very weak attempt at infiltrating the American ship has him try to pass himself as American as speaking a mix between pseudo-English and Japanese.

Word of God is that while most of the Azurite names are real, Rich picked up "Shojo" from Legends of the Five Rings, and "Hinjo" is his own invention. This gets a Lampshade Hanging and a Hand Wave pretty early on after meeting Miko. [[Roy asks about whether they should call her "Miko" or "Miyazaki", and she replies that she's never heard of Japan. It's the writer's way of saying, "This isn't the real world, so don't pick at the languages, culture, or names of the Azurites." There's also a Sangwaan. He's may be just making fun of the Fantasy Kitchen Sink nature of D&D's old "Oriental Adventures" setting. Miko Miyazaki's name is itself an example: her given name is a title and her family name is rather famous. It's like if a Japanese fantasy work had a faux-English paladin named Priestess Spielberg. Miko, written with different Kanji, is an actual Japanese name (a diminutive of Mikoto). Justified: The physics run on D&D rules, why wouldn't names and languages run on what the typical gamer would be expected to know? They do live in the same universe as "Julio ScoundrÃ©l"... We eventually get an explanation in the prequel story How the Paladin Got His Scar: there was once an empire spanning half the continent which absorbed many tribes. The new nations that followed it had numerous ethnic groups living side by side.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_5ae0bec6	comment	In WWE, during the later part of William Regal's career, he was portrayed as a regal, high-class, British snob, which included mispronouncing wrestlers's names, such as calling Triple H "Haitch." The funny thing is, that pronunciation of the letter H is actually less posh, going against his "British Snob" persona for those in the know. It makes it sound like Corporate just told him to "sound as British as possible." That could be interpreted as Fridge Brilliance, since Regal was acknowledged even in kayfabe as a rough-and-tumble carnival wrestler from Blackpool, and the "haitch" could be explained as him reverting to his boyhood dialect.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_5efbf032	comment	The Asterisk War is usually pretty good about getting non-Japanese characters' names right or at least plausible (when the translators don't screw it up after the fact), but there are still some mistakes. Irene Urzaiz does Calling Your Attacks in either Spanish or Asturian (a closely related language from northern Spain), referring to the Unrealistic Black Holes she can launch at her enemies as "fanega", e.g. "Diez Fanega!". Not only is there a singular-plural mismatch here, the fanega or Spanish bushel is a unit of volume, which is an odd choice for a Gravity Master to name her spells after. One of the schools in Asterisk is called "St. Galahadsworth", mashing up sainthood with a French-invented Knight of the Round Table and an Anglo-Saxon suffix (referring to a fenced or walled homestead). One of the alternate transliterations in the novels is "Gallardworth" or "Gallardsworth", which makes marginally more sense (Gallard is a real surname of Norman origin and could have conceivably mixed with English).

This video, on the other hand, reveals that Ardeth Bay may have said the same Arabic line on three separate occasions to mean three different things. According to the commentary, Ardeth Bey said the line once. In editing, they needed a new shot in a couple of places (for pacing) and just recoloured the shot they already had. In The Mummy Returns, the oasis where the Scorpion King resides is known as "Ahm Shere". Amshir is the Arabic pronunciation of the sixth month of the Egyptian calendar, Meshir. What this has to do with Ancient Egyptian kings, who knows.

However, in one production the song was sung straight once, then repeated using lyrics made up entirely of Japanese brand names ("Mitsubishi Datsun Honda, Kawasaki Toyota..."). With the exception of the Mikado himself, all the characters' names are just vaguely Asian-sounding phrases that will sound funny to western ears, like "Yum-Yum" and "Ko-Ko" (which Gilbert was not aware is a real Japanese name).

The trouble is that she then uses the "Anglicized" variant, "Talia Head", which translates the wrong word. Maybe "Talia Demon" wasn't subtle enough.

But the scenery doesn't look like Amsterdam at all and the people talk German instead of Dutch. In the German translation, it is supposed to be somewhere in eastern Europe. Except for the businessman, who is supposed to be Dutch. He speaks Dutch in the film, even though the actor, Jan VlasÃ¡k, is Czech and didn't even speak a word of English before getting the role. He learned all of his lines, both English and Dutch, by writing them down phonetically and just cram it in...and it was awesome.

Most of the bizarre linguistics are a deliberate effort to distance the far-future humanity from existing cultures, especially in the space colonies. The one series with a date solidly pinned down in relation to modern day does fairly well with the names. Gundam Build Fighters meanwhile takes place in the "real" world (albeit 20 Minutes into the Future), and yet features an African-American character named Nils Nielsen. Unless he has some Scandinavian ancestry, the name comes off as kind of odd.

The result is hit or miss. "Ray Penbar" sounds almost normal. "Knick Staek" and "Liab Zaopack" less so. Most of the victims' names are examples of this trope, as was L, whose real name is L Lawliet. In Death Note 13: How to Read, the writer of the manga admits that he made up the names of the victims randomly, so that no real names would show up as having been written down in the Death Note. In the Prequel Another Note, multiple characters' names are composed of random English words smashed together, such as Beyond Birthday, Quarter Queen, and Bluesharp Babysplit.

Yodlaf is total gibberish and does not even remotely sound like any Swedish or Scandinavian names (the closest real name probably being "Jonas", or "Olaf") and while Petersson and Pettersson are common surnames in Sweden, Swedish surnames ending with -son almost always have two S's (as in "Peter's Son" contracted to Petersson). The surname would probably be excusable since occasionally people prefer to have their surnames written with only one S for aesthetic reasons, but the film does this more than once, also introducing an (fictional) brand of Swedish Safes named Svenson. The film also contains some Swedish speech, which was done surprisingly well â€” while badly-pronounced, all the lines where grammatically correct.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_9f830fe0	comment	The Auld Elvish used in Bored of the Rings (a parody of The Lord of the Rings) is strings of nonsensical, vaguely foreign-sounding gibberish. Much of it is random English words mixed with foreign loan words, and a couple lines are English with a phonetic accent. The translations provided in the book also don't quite match up with the excerpts. Have a gander.

Many characters from the Britannian Empire, that is supposed to be an alternate-reality version of either UK or US, have ridiculously non-English names (such as Rivalz), even surnames as first names (Nunnally sounds like an Irish surname, Lelouch is a French one). On the other hand, there are some characters with quite acceptable names, such as Gilbert G.P. Guilford. And then there's Rolo, which could be a candy bar or a character from Sanford and Son.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_a54eef52	comment	The creator of Hetalia: Axis Powers, in response to a fan question, gave suggestions as to what the Nations as People would be named if they were human, and the fanbase has since run with them. However, many of the names fall squarely into this. Austria has a Jewish last name despite being presumably Catholic (Edelstein), Hungary's name is listed as (probably, going by Romanization) "Elizebeta" even though the Hungarian version of Elizabeth is "ErzsÃ©bet," Greece's name literally translates to Herakles Watermelon, one of Belgium's suggested French names ("Henri") is masculine (though "Anri," a name derived from it, is a feminine name in Japan), Egypt for whatever reason is named "Gupta," a Hindu name he wouldn't even be able to pronounce (though his middle and last name, "Mohammed Hassan," just happen to be accurate), and the list goes on and on. Then there are weird mix-ups of surnames and first names like Sweden being named "Berwald" or Turkey having "Adnan" as his surname, despite the fact that "Adanir" is a real Turkish surname. On occasion, diminutives seem to be used instead of the actual names they would be diminutives of, like Ukraine getting "Irunya" or Switzerland "Basch" (often misspelled as "Vash" by early fans, which is an even bigger example of this trope) as opposed to "Iryna" and "Sebastian." The most egregious cases, however, have to be the main character himself and his brother: Italy's name is "Feliciano Vargas," a rare Italian last name used as a first name and a Spanish last name, and South Italy's name is "Lavino," a name which doesn't even exist (though is possibly a corruption of the rare Italian name "Lavinio"). English-language Fanon name alteration attempts are not uncommon for this reason. However, there are also plenty of characters who were given perfectly plausible, if at times old-fashioned, names, which makes the bizarre names stand out even more (granted, Japan was given the name "Kiku Honda," "Kiku" being usually a feminine name).

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_a7c9f8e9	comment	Legend of the Five Rings has guidelines for players and Game Masters to name their own characters, and so the accuracy of the names used by players varies. Kurohito, a guy born with stark white hair and fair blue eyes, whose name means "Black Man". The name "Toturi" is meaningless in Japanese, even if you see it as an alternative spelling to "Totsuri". Many other names are completely made-up Japanese-looking nonsense. Sometimes the names aren't even Japanese-looking at all, very easily getting into Chinese and Korean territory, resulting in cases where characters have a Japanese surname with a Chinese personal name. Even the Kami haven't escaped this; their names all have a Japanese sound to them (though most of them are nonsense), and then you got Fu Leng.

The whole thing is a bit odd since they managed to get some stuff right and some stuff plain odd. Like her "catchphrase", "God dag min vÃ¤nnen", which translates to "Hello my the friend". Probably it's a mistake for "vÃ¤nner", which would make it "Hello my friends." But her accent is in no way Swedish, just generically North European, and apart from baby grammar, she indicates foreignness by referring to herself in the third person. Why this should sound "foreign" is anyone's guess, since pronouns are the first thing one learns.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_aa9366f9	comment	Nightwish's song "Creek Mary's Blood", about the Trail of Tears, has an outro of spoken Lakota by singer and flutist John Two-Hawks. The Lakota are one of the Plains Indian tribes, hundreds of miles away from the tribes affected by Andrew Jackson's little ethnic cleansing operation. The band said at the time that Two-Hawks was the only Native American performer they were able to contact when they were recording the album. This got worse in 2013 when a Shoshone member of the Nightwish forum played the song for a Lakota friend, who informed her that the spoken Lakota was gibberish: Two-Hawks had since been exposed as a fraud, and the poem at the end, which was composed by songwriter Tuomas Holopainen in English, had been translated to Lakota exactly as one might have done if all one had was an English-Lakota dictionary and no actual knowledge of Lakota grammar.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_ae7c4641	comment	The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement play this trope straight over a cliff by inventing a European country, "Genovia," in which the queen (Julie Andrews) is English, the peasants speak either French or English with French, English, and American accents, and the princess's name is Princess Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi. The books do give some explanation â€” for some reason, it's a Francophone country which used to be part of Italy. And the Amelia and Thermopolis parts come from her (American) mother. And no accents, obviously. In the books Genovia is between France and Italy (it's basically Monaco) but in the movies it's between France and Spain (taking after Andorra instead). Mignonette is a flower. Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews) could very well have been an English princess who married the Genovian King. The fact that she is styled "Dowager" would usually mean that she was a queen consort (married into the royal family) rather than queen regnant (ruling in her own right).

In her first episode, she speaks a few lines of what is supposed to sound like Swahili. Lauren Faust explained that they were originally going to find someone who actually knew Swahili, but due to time constraints, Zecora's voice actor was told to just say some Swahili-sounding jibberish instead. Played with in regards to her name; it's not Swahili, but it is a real word. Specifically, it's Oromo (an Ethiopian language) for "zebra." The Breezies speak Swedish-sounding gibberish, which only Fluttershy can understand.

The narrator always explains what his character is saying instead. Because N!xau was disgruntled by the filmmaking process, the lines he says are often critical of the scene or the film as a whole. For example, when his character triumphantly returns to his village, he starts chastising the tribe for not rushing up to embrace him, as a real tribe would do.

The problem is, Claire Stanfield is a man. This one gets lampshaded in the anime adaptation's English dub during an episode preview. In the thirties, when the first arc takes place, that could be a man's name. The problem is that the masculine version of the name was spelled Clare.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_cfd860dd	comment	The various works set in the Nasuverse, especially Fate, practically run on this trope. Just about every western character who isnâ€™t Historical Domain or Public Domain has an exotic vaguely European-sounding name, all of which typically fall somewhere between 'slightly off' to 'completely made up'. Examples include Illyasviel von Einzbern, Luviagelita Edelfelt, Bazett Fraga McRemitz, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, Kishur Zelretch Schweinorg, Sion Eltnam Atlasia, Riesbyfe Stridberg, Celenike Icecolle Yggdmillenia, Olga-Marie and Marisbury Animusphere, Romani Archaman, and Mash/Mashu (Possibly a corruption of Matthew) Kyrielight. It ends up culminating in a guy named Scandinavia Peperoncino, whose name is so ridiculous even by Nasu standards, even everyone in-universe thinks he's using a fake identity which turns out to be true, with his real name being somewhat less absurd Aro Myorenji. There's at least some justification to it â€” almost the entirety of the original western cast are members of the Mage Association, which has its own culture that really works to distinct itself from regular people. Romani also lampshades this by preferring to be called the much more plausible sounding Dr. Roman, in one chapter admitting even he thinks his surname is kind of dumb, plus he is also a character who chose his own name, as well as Mashâ€™s, which may explain why her name is so bizarre too.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_d9c602eb	comment	One of South Park's creators is fluent in Japanese, so all speech in Japanese is accurate (albeit on occasion slightly off, such as "sore no" instead of "sono" or "sonna"). Other languages are just gibberish, though. Lampshaded in "Good Times With Weapons", where the lyrics of the Japanese theme song are a Bilingual Bonus and a Take That! to anyone who thinks that it's cool as long as it sounds foreign. "Broflovski" is not a real Polish or Pole-Jewish surname, though this is probably intentional. Done twice in "Pinkeye". The first time, the astronauts on MIR speak Russian-sounding gibberish which consists of Russian last names. Later on, when Cartman watches a video on Hitler, the German gibberish consists of made-up and reversed phrases, including "You don't know shit," and "You have lovely breasts," ending with "Goddammit!" "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" features Afghan children and Taliban operatives who speak fluent, accurate Persian (albeit with Iranian accents), while Osama bin Laden speaks random Koranic words, such as "jihad," "Ramadan," "Mohammad," "fatwa," mixed with gibberish. In The Movie, Cartman sings "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch" in several languages, which seem to be Chinese, French, Dutch and an African language, judging from the backgrounds and costumes. It sounds nothing like those languages. Justified in that Cartman is giving his interpretation of what those languages would sound like. Also averted in "The Passion of the Jew" in which Cartman speaks proper German (albeit horribly mispronounced). In another episode, Mr. Mackey speaks correct Spanish, even down to saying "Â¿estÃ¡ bien?", a correct translation of his "mm'kay?" Verbal Tic. Played for Laughs when Chef joins the Nation of Islam in "Chef Goes Nanners". Played straight in "Tomâ€™s Rhinoplasty".

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_dbb31d3c	comment	Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: The short Flea Circus also uses undisguised English for "French" words by tacking "Le" in front. However, this sounds wrong for French speaking people, as French has two articles, "Le" for masculine and "La" for feminine words. This is especially noticeable as one of the main characters named "Fifi le Flea" is a girl and "puce", French for "flea" is a feminine word. The same applies to other written "French" like Le Church, Le Maternity and Le End, which are all feminine in French. Had the writer done the research, Fifi la Flea would been to la Church, then la Maternity before the happy la End. The mistake is a common one (Spanish works similarly, with "El" for masculine words and "La" for feminine.) because English is one of the few languages where the vast majority of nouns are genderless, thus the assumption by the English-speaking animators that one version of "the" works for all situations.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_e894d0f9	comment	Colossus' real name is Piotr Nikolayevitch Rasputin. "Rasputin" is a common surname in the area of Russia where he's from, which is fine. And the patronymic is correct, even better. Then his sister Illyana Rasputin is introduced. Slight oops: since Russian surnames have masculine and feminine forms, her last name ought to be "Rasputina". The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe eventually gives her full name as "Illyana Nikolaivitch Rasputina (Anglicized to Rasputin)", but even that isn't completely right: Russian patronymics have masculine and feminine forms too, and "Nikolayevitch" ("son of Nikolai") is a masculine patronymic; since Illyana's a girl, her middle name should be "Nikolayevna" ("daughter of Nikolai"). Eventually, about forty years after her introduction, this was corrected.

It sounds a lot like "beepity boopity boppity bappita" with accompanying hand gestures. The Italian butcher he's arguing with, however, is speaking almost proper Italian: some of what he says is badly translated ("I'm gonna punch you on the head" is translated as "ti dÃ² un pugno nella testa" instead of "ti dÃ² un pugno sulla testa"), and his accent is clearly not a native Italian one. In another episode, the family pass a Chinese take-out shop with its name in both English and (although correct) Japanese katakana. Despite supposedly being Portuguese, Santos and Pascoal (Peter's former fishermen employees) speak in heavily accented Brazilian Portuguese. Consuela is a name that only exists in Tinseltown. Consuelo, meaning "solace" or "consolation" (yes, it ends with an "O"), is a common woman's name. Consuela is the third person singular conjugation of the verb consolar. In the episode "Death Is A Bitch", a cutaway showing if Hitler was still alive has him hosting his own late show. The number to call for tickets is 213-DU WERDEST EINE KRANKENSCHWESTER BRAUCHEN, which is just German for "you will need a nurse". Of course, the only thing that matters here is that the phrase is shouted angrily.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign / int_ffbcb90e	comment	In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Willie Scott sings Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" in Chinese that is so badly pronounced that native speakers struggle to understand what she's saying. Here's a Chinese speaker's best guess. This trope is averted for Mola Ram, who speaks flawless Hindi and whose lines make perfect sense in the context of the plot. He was played by Amrish Puri, already famous for his roles as a villain in Bollywood films, who did his own translation. However, whenever a villager speaks, it's Sinhala, not Hindi. This is because the Indian government didn't allow shooting in the country unless the script was changed to be less offensive to Indians. The studio moved production to Sri Lanka rather than caving.
