How to Say "Egypt" in Japanese

エジプト

Ejiputo[e̞ʑipɯ̟̊to̞]

Egypt in Japanese is エジプト (Ejiputo).

エジプト is the name used to refer to the country located in North Africa.

Meaning: country in North Africa (name)

How do you pronounce it?

Ejiputo

Unlike many other country names that can be written in kanji (like 米国 for USA), エジプト almost never appears in kanji even in formal news reports.
In Japanese, the term for the Nile River is often written with Kanji, even though the country name エジプト remains in Katakana.
Because エジプト is a loanword, it follows the rules of katakana phonology, which adds an extra vowel sound to the end of the English consonant cluster.
