old talk

"signifying that they are void of care" What the heck does this mean? -- 16:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Completely agreed with you, the sentence does not make any sense. The word is clearly Turkic and is feminine of [[Bey]] (also Beg and Beigh). Also look The Free Dictionary. --Mehrdad 15:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Changes
I removed some edits apparently relating to Mexico, that have nothing to do with the Asian word Begum. Soczyczi (talk) 09:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Religious Slur?
I've removed this
 * In the United Kingdom, Begum has been increasingly used as a religious slur against headscarf-wearing Muslim women. It became associated with devout Islam and the practice of wearing the veil through the court case of Shabina Begum.

I've seen no evidence of this myself, and the "fact" has remained uncited for almost three years. Rojomoke (talk) 15:31, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
