Question for anyone: On Google Earth, the city of Nouakchott appears to be getting swallowed by the Sahara desert. How long has that been going on? You can see cars driving around and the airport is active, as if people just ignore the encroaching desert.-- Johnreep 02:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Could anyone provide an indication of the pronunciation of this word (preferably in IPA)? -- babbage 04:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't know IPA, but recently returned from the city, where people pronounced it
No ack shot
No = opposite of yes
ack = as in acknowledge
shot = as in gunshot
The accent seemed to be on "ack"
maybe someone else could write this up as IPA? I'm not from Mauritania, but hope it helps. --

I moved this from the "Culture" section.
What is the most precious item in the either the library or the archives? Someone please answer.
What are some of the most prevalent species of fish that are caught and sold in Nouakchott? Someone please answer.

The city was selected as the capital city for its moderate climate and central location within the country. It may well have been chosen for its position in the middle of the country's coast, but central location within the country - is this a joke? Judging from the map, a location could hardly be less central than Nouakchott's. Jimmy Fleischer ( talk) 21:51, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
