Talk:Barghash bin Said of Zanzibar

Sayyid/Sayyida not Sheikh/Sheikha
Sayyid and Sayyida are the correct official titles for the Omani royalties. They are the equivalents of prince/princess, duke/duchess, etc. The down link bellow redirects to the page of the council of minister in Oman on the official website of the Omani news agency (ONA). You can obviously view that the deputy prime minister (who's a member of the royal family) is entitled (H.H Sayyid Fahd bin Mahmoud al-Said). The same thing is indicated with the next two individuals from the council and the fifth and sixth as well.

This royal ark's link is also used as resource on the article itself. It demonstrates the titles as Sayyid and Sayyida
