- iamtedd 1y agoI don't even know how to spell shakshuka.
- rkomorn 1y agoYou don't have to! You can just say it's imported from a language that doesn't use the Latin alphabet, so there's no canonically correct way to spell it. It's probably a lie but it doesn't sound like one!
- dotancohen 1y agoThough Arabic has quite a few letters you won't find in the Latin alphabet, all the letters in the word shakshukah map perfectly to Latin letters. But put an H on the end, and quarter-pronounce it.
- rkomorn 1y agoThe spelling still had to be romanized. The Wikipedia page has three different spellings for it, though none match yours. I stand by my point.
