I am totally confused now. I think I need "ouahat shay" more.
arab countries speak different dialects , thats why in syria they call it halloumi..in north africa it is joubn...
but halloumi is a pure arabic word for the sound ""h"" doesnt exist in any language exept arabic

In the official spoken Greek h (χ) sounds the same as it does in Arabic. Now in villages in Cyprus or Crete you might get it sounding like "sh" if it is followed by certain vowels.
I need ''SHRHMA''
