The term "Mussulmanish" is an archaic spelling of "Muslim" that has fallen out of use. The IPA phonetic transcription for this term is /mʊzlˈmænɪʃ/. The 'z' in the transcription corresponds to the 'ss' in the word, while the 'u' and 'a' combination in the second syllable is pronounced as a schwa sound. This spelling of the word is rarely seen today, as "Muslim" has become the standard spelling in English.
The term Mussulmanish is an archaic and derivative form of the word Mussulman, which was historically used to refer to a Muslim or follower of Islam. The etymology of Mussulman traces back to the Latin word musulmanus, which entered Middle English through the Old French word mussulman. The Old French term was derived from the Arabic word muslim, meaning one who submits to God or a believer in Islam. Over time, Mussulman and its variations, including Mussulmanish, became less common and were replaced by the more widely used term Muslim.
