Not a Western thing, an Anglophone thing. English normally doesn’t end words with the “eh” sound, but French often does, and French words that get adopted into English tend to go through a similar sound change—for instance, “parfait” is pronounced “pahr-feh” (more or less) in French, but “par-fey” in English.
