Yiften @yiften.bsky.social · 14/08/2025Always wondered why in Algeria (a former french colony) the name مصطفى is usually written "Mustapha" instead of "Moustafa", the expected french translitteration. The "ph" in particular is surprising, since in French it's only used with words that have a Greek origin. Can anyone explaine this pls? 130
