Talk:Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan

Please write the name with a final N as in Urdu!

Abdul Rahim's title is Khan-i Khanan with an N at the end. It is written in this way in the article in Urdu / Persian script. Khan-i Khanan means “Khan of the Khans” or “lord of the lords”; the Persian plural ending -an equals the English -s. The N was probably lost because final Ns tend to be pronounced nasal in Urdu after long vowels. However, the title is originally Persian, there are no nasal vowels in Persian, and the N is always pronounced. Without the final N, Khana means “house” or “room”, so that the title would mean “lord of (some ordinary) house”.

Please shift the article to Abdul Rahim Khan-i Khanan with a final N. This is correct and ensures that an eventual nasal pronunciation is not lost. Thank you, Curryfranke (talk) 10:28, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
