Longue queue: rang de « Dhaka » en français
Rare enough to double-check
Dhaka is uncommon French at frequency #87,528 among 5,307 “D” headwords, classed as aproper noun, transcribed \da.ka\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Capitale du Bangladesh.".
Dhaka has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct French form is Dhaka, spelled D-H-A-K-A.
