The spelling of the word "Alah" has been a subject of confusion among speakers of different languages. The correct pronunciation, however, is /ʌˈlɑh/, with stress placed on the first syllable. The word is often used as a variant of the Arabic word "Allah," which means "God." In Arabic, the spelling is اللّٰه, and it is written with a combination of Arabic letters that do not have exact equivalents in some languages. This has led to different phonetic spellings like "Alah" in non-Arabic languages.
