Thank you for correctly adding the Q. Writing it as "alb" is the equivalent of transliterating "having a laugh" by someone from London to "avvin a lorf."

- ithkuil 3y agoIn which Arabic dialect/languages does qalb not have a q or g sound? I guess it doesn't become k to not confuse with "dog" right?

Egyptian Arabic supplements the Q with a glottal stop. > I guess it doesn't become k to not confuse with "dog" right? Qaf (Q) is usually turned into گ/gaf (G) in some accents (gulf, bedouin levantine). Kaf (K) is sometimes turned into چ/che (CH) in the northern Gulf accents. It's not very common at all for a Q to drift its way into a K and is usually considered mispronunciation.
