romaja

Korean for "Roman alphabet/writing/letters". There are several different romanization methods used in South Korea, making it somewhat to discern how to pronounce some Korean words without any knowledge of hangeul, the Korean alphabet. South Koreans spell their names similar to common English words so that English-speakers can pronounce their names more easily.

In romaja, my can be spelled as following, Kim Lee Sung or Kim Li Seong.

Korean barbeque, spelled kimchee or kimchi in romaja, is notoriously spicy.

Allah

Arabic for "God". Regardless of what their first language is, Muslims prefer this title over other names that refer to "God" because Arabic is the divine language of Islam. The Hebrew equivalent of "Allahumma" is "Elohim", since Hebrew and Arabic are very similar languages.

There is no god other than Allah. Worship him and serve him only.

pinyin

Standard Chinese spelling system using Roman alphabet. Literally translates as "spell sound". In modern Chinese education, children are taught to read and write pinyin before learning hanzi (Chinese characters).

If it weren't for pinyin, there would be no way I could ever learn how to speak Chinese by reading it.

Uyghur

Turkic Muslims living in Xinjiang, western China. Minority group in China. Heavily-oppressed by the Chinese Communist Party.

The word "Uyghur" itself has no standardized English spelling, since it is normally written in the Arabic alphabet (which is difficult to standardize into English). Can also be spelled "Uighur", "Uygur", "Uigur".

Like the Tibetans, the Uyghurs are looked down upon as being lesser people to the Han-dominated CCP.
