How Do You Spell OUMAR?

Pronunciation: [ˈa͡ʊmə] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Oumar" may initially appear confusing to some, as it combines both French and African influences. It is pronounced "oo-MAR" with the stress on the second syllable, and the phonetic transcription is [ˈuːmɑːɹ]. The use of the "ou" rather than "u" in the first syllable is derived from French, while the "mar" ending is more common in African languages. Despite the initial confusion, once the proper pronunciation is understood, the spelling of "Oumar" becomes clear and easier to remember.
