Shaax or Shaah

[wonyluvr]

So I was scouring the internet for tea recipes and i stumbled across discourse about whether or not it’s pronounced shaax or shaah. Reer sspot what’s your answer?

 

[wonyluvr]

I say shaaxii or shaax

 

[Journey.]

X is the strong h, basically ح. I say, and I've only ever heard, "shaahi" with the soft h/ه sound.

 

[Sa_Male]

Alhamdulilah

 

[Avalanche]

Shaah is the correct wording

 

[The alchemist]

shaah*

Shaax is not in any dictionary. Some Arabs also say Shaahi.

 

[Sophisticate]

Shax is a Somali game of strategy similar to chess. It has been played for hundreds of years.

Shaax is not a word for tea rather it is shaah.
