Rare enough to double-check
Khartum is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as aproper noun, transcribed [ˈkaʁtʊm]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Hauptstadt Sudans".
Khartum has no tracked misspelling variants, typically a sign the spelling maps closely to how the word sounds. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Khartum, spelled K-H-A-R-T-U-M.
