According to the Wikipedia pages false cognates and false friends are different. "False cognates are pairs of words in the same or different languages that are similar in form and meaning but have different roots. That is, they appear to be, or are sometimes considered, cognates, when in fact they are not. This is different from a false friend, which is where the words in fact have similar roots but have diverged in meaning."
- It currently says false friends are not necessarily related, which is also what our definition says. This appendix and the others seem to list just false friends, so can we rename them to something like Appendix:English-Spanish false friends or Appendix:False friends between English and Spanish, where the languages are ordered alphabetically?__Gamren (talk) 15:53, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

"fútbol" is not a false friend. It means, and comes from, "football" ("soccer"). There needs to be a note or something, saying that to Americans this is a false friend. To Europeans, it is not a false friend. By making no notes, you are saying that everyone calls football "soccer", which is untrue. There might be a note that I haven't read, but if not, it is absolutely necessary that one be added. Velociraptor888 (talk) 19:38, 5 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
