Usage notes
The Standard Spanish singular is tamal, and thus some proscribe tamale' as an incorrect back-formation, preferring to use tamal as the English singular; note however that '''' exists in Spanish dialect [which?]. The similarity of '''tamale''' to the ancestral Nahuatl tamalli is not generally cited in support of the English usage of ' tamale .
