Those are all half-assed phonetic attempts. Revised Romanization is unambiguous: 떡볶이 = tteokbokki.
Arabic is considerably worse because there's no standard that's even close to accepted, and the dialectal variation between different regions is so vast that they might as well be separate languages.

The transliterations for "Gaddafi" amaze me. There are 115200 possible ways to spell his first and last name in English.
Tteokbokki, ddeokbokki, topokki, dukboki, ddukbokkie, dduk bok ki, ddukbokkie, dokbokki, dukpokki... it seems endless, almost like "Gaddafi".
