How Do You Spell ABUK?
Pronunciation: [ɐbˈʌk] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "abuk" may seem confusing to those unfamiliar with its pronunciation in certain languages. The word is commonly found in Zulu and Xhosa, where it is spelled as "abuq" in IPA phonetic transcription. This spelling reflects the unique click consonants used in these languages, which can be difficult for speakers of non-click languages to produce accurately. The "q" in the spelling indicates the post-alveolar click sound made by pressing the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth.
