Of the 82 words in this list, 78 are (or can be) interpreted as nouns, and most would generally be considered loanwords However, all of the loanwords on this list are considered to be naturalised in English according to at least one major dictionary (see References), often because they refer to concepts or societal roles that do not have an accurate equivalent in English. However, alternative spellings are sometimes accepted, which use K (or sometimes C) in place of Q for example, Koran ( Qur'ān) and Cairo ( al-Qāhira). In Arabic, the letter ق, traditionally romanised as Q, is quite distinct from ك, traditionally romanised as K for example, قلب /qalb/ means "heart" but كلب /kalb/ means "dog". In other examples, Q represents in standard Arabic, such as in qat, faqir and Qur'ān. For example, in the Chinese pinyin alphabet, qi is pronounced /tʃi/ (similar to "chi" in English) by an English speaker, as pinyin uses "q" to represent the sound, which is approximated as (ch) in English. The majority of these are anglicised from Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Inuktitut, or other languages that do not use the English alphabet, with Q representing a sound not found in English.
In English, the letter Q is usually followed by the letter U, but there are some exceptions. Like 32 of the 72 other English words that use a q not followed by a u, souq is of Arabic origin.
