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.

Since I like to cook Chinese food, my cabinet is crammed with woks.
