Talk:Wali (administrative title)

Source language(s) and script

...are lacking from the page. -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The original source of this word is Arabic والٍ, but linguistically this word is a little complex -- the Classical Arabic pronunciation of the basic nominative-genitive indefinite form is wālin, but the accusative indefinite is واليا wāliyan, the nominative-genitive with definite article is الوالي al-wālī, and the accusative with definite article is al-wāliya. In colloquial Arabic, or when borrowing into other languages, it's generally just simplified to wali (Qadi is the same). AnonMoos (talk) 13:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The word put vali is lack of grammatical signs, such as â etc. I thought it was used without checking. Because when one scientifically reads Wâli and Vali don't give the same sounds. In the Republic of Turkey, such grammatical signs were politically discredited just because of the intention that modern turkish language should have nothing to see with persian nor arabic. So one word is written differently from one writer to another. Thanks Anton.aldemir (talk) 09:06, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
