- In Spanish phonetics, the 'sh' sound in Nashville does not exist natively, so speakers often substitute it with an 's' sound or a soft 'ch' sound depending on the region.
- In some historical Spanish-language texts from the 19th century, American place names were sometimes Hispanicized to better fit Spanish orthography. While rare for modern 'Nashville', this historical tendency shows how foreign names were once 'tamed' for Spanish readers.
