I'll jump in. The Cubans *do* tilde (as do all spanish speaking nations)
when the tilde is appropriate to the word. Since Habanero is pronounced
ah-bah-NAY-ro, and not
ah-bah-NYER-o, no tilde is called for. When Cubans spell Jalapeņo, the tilde
is both written and pronounced, because that chile is pronounced
ha-lah-PAIN-yo.


Hoping I Jumped Clearly,

Porter
