Est-ce que ça s’écrit pareil en français ?

Je pense, PENSE, que c’est “ouechouech” mais je suis pas sûr.
On peut prononcer “weshwesh” de la même façon, donc pourquoi pas l’écrire comme ça?

Idéalement on ne devrait pas l’écrire du tout, enfin pas pour désigner des Arabes (ça reste une salutation familière, comme dans le titre du film : themoviedb.org/…/104234-wesh-wesh-qu-est-ce-qui-s…)
