As a native Spanish speaker from Mexico I've noticed I and a lot of people sometimes say things like "Ya comí yo", placing the pronoun "yo" after the noun. Is there a grammatical reason for this? Is it just for emphasis? Why not say "Yo ya comí"? Is there a name for this phenomenon? In which kinds of sentences can this happen? Is this actually a thing of Mexican Spanish or is it just me and the people surrounding me? Does it go further than just Mexico?

I imagine there might not be much info for English but surely there's accounts of how native Nahua people spoke/speak Spanish?

I typically hear my name pronounced as "Diegou" by English speakers, as English doesn't allow that short o sound to be at the end of a word. However, I think British people who replace coda r's with long vowels can approximate my name better. I imagine if they saw my name written they'd still pronounce it as "Diegou", but if I said out loud the Spanish pronunciation could they and would they approximate better by saying something like "Diegor"?
