Sauti /q/ haipo katika uchunguzi wa fonimu za lugha ya Kiswahili. Kwa hivyo mara nyingi sauti hii hutoholewa kwa kuhamishwa katika Kiswahili kama sauti /k/ na hatimaye kuchangia katika tafsiri ya majina ya nchi kama vile Iraq (Iraki), Qatar (Katari), Equatorial Guinea (Ginekweta) na Mozambique (Mozambiki).

2012, Benard Odoyo Okal, NAFASI YA TAFSIRI KATIKA TAALUMA YA ONOMASTIKI: UHAKIKI WA MBINU ZAKE KATIKA TAFSIRI YA TOPONOMASTIKI (Kiswahili Journal; 75), Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Journal of the Institute of Kiswahili Research, pages 27–42:

The sound /q/ is absent from research on the phonemes of Swahili. Therefore, this sound is frequently adapted by modification in Swahili as the sound /k/ and finally ends up in the translations of the names of countries like Iraki (Iraq), Katari (Qatar), Ginekweta (Equatorial Guinea), and Mozambiki (Mozambique).
