However, there are some exceptions. The majority of these are <a href="/wiki/Anglicisation" title="Anglicisation">anglicised</a> from <a href="/wiki/Arabic_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabic language">Arabic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">Chinese</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>, <a href="/wiki/Inuktitut" title="Inuktitut">Inuktitut</a>, or other languages that do not use the <a href="/wiki/English_alphabet" title="English alphabet">English alphabet</a>, with <i>Q</i> often representing a sound not found in English. For example, in the Chinese <a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">pinyin</a> alphabet, <i><a href="/wiki/Qi" title="Qi">qi</a></i> is pronounced <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/tʃi/</span> (similar to "chi" in English) by an English speaker, as <a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">pinyin</a> uses "q" to represent the sound <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[tɕʰ]</span>, which is approximated as <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_postalveolar_affricate" title="Voiceless postalveolar affricate">tʃ</a>]</span> (ch) in English. In other examples, <i>Q</i> represents <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_uvular_plosive" title="Voiceless uvular plosive">q</a>]</span> in standard <a href="/wiki/Arabic_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabic language">Arabic</a>, such as in <i><a href="/wiki/Khat" title="Khat">qat</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Faqir_(disambiguation)" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="Faqir (disambiguation)">faqir</a></i>. In Arabic, the letter <a href="/wiki/%D9%82" class="mw-redirect" title="ق">ق</a>, traditionally romanised as <i>Q</i>, is quite distinct from <a href="/wiki/%D9%83" class="mw-redirect" title="ك">ك</a>, traditionally romanised as <i>K</i>; for example, <span title="Arabic-language text"><span lang="ar" dir="rtl">”قلب”</span></span> <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/qalb/</span> means "heart" but <span title="Arabic-language text"><span lang="ar" dir="rtl">“ كلب ”</span></span> <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/kalb/</span> means "dog". However, alternative spellings are sometimes accepted, which use <i>K</i> (or sometimes <i>C</i>) in place of <i>Q</i>; for example, <i>Koran</i> (<i>Qur'ān</i>) and <i><a href="/wiki/Cairo" title="Cairo">Cairo</a></i> (<i>al-Qāhira</i>). </p><p>Of the words in this list, most are (or can be) interpreted as nouns, and most would generally be considered <a href="/wiki/Loanword" title="Loanword">loanwords</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, all of the loanwords on this list are considered to be naturalised in English according to at least one major <a href="/wiki/Dictionary" title="Dictionary">dictionary</a> (see <a href="#References">References</a>), often because they refer to concepts or societal roles that do not have an accurate equivalent in English.
