https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazi_Husrev-beg Fyi: beg is the Yu / Bosnian / Croation / Serbian / Macedonian / Montenegrin version of bey or pasha Once I read the translation I realized the sword to be a piece of cultural heritage indeed and henceforth priceless |

In modern Turkish, the hard G found in the word beg has transmuted to a yumushak ge, which sounds pretty much like a Y, or in some cases a glottal stop; it depends on the word. Hence, bey. In parts of Anatolia, however, I've still heard it pronounced beg.
There is a distinction between the terms beg and pasa. Both are ranks. However, bey was (and is) also added to the end of a given name for virtually any adult male, more or less approximating the English Mr., French, monsieur, etc. |

I was referring to what I learned in the former Yu and what was used there ( i.e. Southern Dalmatia, BiH and Boka Kotorska Montenegro) Last edited by gp; 22nd May 2020 at 06:24 PM. |
