Applies in Spanish too.

Jamon normally refers to dried ham (sometimes given to vegetarians on the grounds it hasn't been cooked (!!).

Jamon de jor (or "yor") is what we called boiled ham. (Jamon de York)

Andalusians (in my experience) tend not to pronounce their letters very distinctively. Thus Madrid = Ma-ree. Almost with a glottal stop in the middle.

And the language is normally called "menorquin" (AFAIK). Most of those words would be pronounced as suggested except "xoc" which would be pronounced "shock". Which might be hard to see as "chalk".
