Do you perchance know what word is used for the English ‘God’ by Christians who are native speakers of Arabic?

When I was in Turkey (not Arabic, but a Muslim country), and attended Masses in Turkish, the term used at Mass for God was "Allah." It was made clear this was not the "god" of the Muslims, but simply the Turkish word for "God."
