Loanwords occur as the result of language contacts within the community. In Spanish language, there are borrowing words existing as the effect of the contact with English language.

The research conducted was qualitative descriptive. It used 30 Spanish vocabulary borrowed from English language as the object. At the end of this research, it was found out that the phonological process which happened, involved substitution processes; not only in the consonant phonemes but also in vowel phonemes.
