Examples

“Bruno and Ernst from the international Teutonophone (German, Austrian and Swiss) expedition arrived during breakfast. […] The sight of the Teutonophones gave Steve one of his brilliant ideas: Bruno and Ernst could use our tents here, in exchange we would sleep at their camp on the way up to the Makalu La, kick-off point for an attempt on either Kangchungtse to the north, or the main challenge of the Makalu traverse to the south.”
“Gooch, following Acton, was concerned to show the new German professionalisation of history in the nineteenth century: clearly, only Teutonophones might apply.”
“(The name "Gopal Balakrishnan" somehow leads me to doubt that this biographer is any more a native Teutonophone than I am....)”
“(( An interesting case. Here in the Eastern Massachusetts of John Winthrop and Cotton Mather and Calvin Coolidge and even Mitt Romney one vaguely supposes that all Teutonophones give absolutely everthing^([sic]) the patented Leo Strauss Treatment, or perhaps the discredited Adolf Hitler Treatment, automatically -- crush, Crumble, CHOMP! -- but here's a headline where they have have^([sic]) to resort to lowly English even to say what it is they want done. And yet at the same time, a Wingnut City goodie like _aufzufordern alle Bürger zum Schulterschluß im Kampf gegen den Rechtsextremismus_ can hardly be translated at all without non-Teutons and non-Straussians supposin' that you're only just makin' fun of 'em somehow. ))”

“Biggest mystery: How an obvious teutonophone can get away with playing an Irishman.”
“It's meant to say 'Gewurztraminer', with an umlaut over the 'u'. I typed it as 'Gewurztraminer', but the spell checker had the spelling with the umlaut in it, so I changed it to that. I've no idea how to pronounce it, but there are some teutonophones on this group who probably could.”
“Then again, she might be talking about a horse of some sort, and asking how much feed the thing will go through. It's hard to say; the German is a language of great subtlety. It is interesting (as an aside) to note that, although "Stute" is "mare", it is cognate with the English "stud". Whether this argues sexual confusion among anglo- or teutonophones I am not in a position to judge.”
“The name “phonodeik,” coming from the Greek for “to show sound,” was suggested by Morley; it was reportedly pronounced phono-deek, not dike—in spite of what teutonophones might prefer.”
