The spelling of the word "Alikah" is derived from the Arabic language and is written as /ɑliːkɑ:/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable, "ali," is pronounced with a long "a" sound like in the word "father" and the second syllable, "kah," is pronounced with a long "a" sound with stress on the second syllable. The "h" at the end indicates a breathy sound, called an "aspirate," making it the correct spelling of the word "Alikah" in Arabic.
