Many people write As-salamu alaykum as Salama Alikum, Slamwalaikum etc. In India and Pakistan people pronance it like Salamaalikum,Slawalikum etc. but it should be written and pronounced as As-salamu alaykum as its pronanced as As-salamu alaykum in Arabic language. Like Asya6 pointed out below that Slamwalaikum in Arabic actually means wishing someone death 😭 . So please guys pronance is correctly as As-salamu alaykum or Assalaamu Alaikum.Don't kill me please 😳 I really felt like pointing this out.
