Talk:Daf

daf vs. dap?
Daf and dap are used interchangeably in the beginning of the article; Google searching revealed little as far as which is more popular, so can an expert make a judgement as to which is more widely-used in English? Little.spoon 18:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

daf vs. dap?(Answer)
Both are right but Dap is the old name while Daf is the name whsich is used these days. Actually no one uses Dap these days and all the Iranian call it DAF.

Dap history
2 weeks ago when i check here it was long history of Daf but now!!!!! nothing who did remove it?

quiz of the year
concerning the edit I would like to ask the editors of this page: how important is mentioning "A daf is depicted on thebank note X of country Y". If it is why not putting: Book X in the year Y in page Z pictured a Daf. I am sure we find many references. Or more interestingly, the company A made a panty in the year Y selling Z picturing a daf... Come on let us take articles seriously.--Xashaiar (talk) 16:43, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, the fact that the Azerbaijani government considers this musical instrument of enough symbolic significance to depict it in its currency is interesting to our readership, and worthy of mention in a single, short sentence.


 * You cannot sensibly compare a government's decision to showcase the instrument as a symbol of a culture (for that is what the banknote depiction connotes) with everyday depictions in random books or products.


 * To be honest, I cannot understand why this fact wouldn't belong in the article.


 * I'm not sure whether it should be mentioned in the history section (diff.); I would prefer to do it at the end of the lead section (diff.). But that can be discussed, and a new section on "Daf in Azerbaijan" can always be created. - Best, Ev (talk) 18:24, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Origin
Daf belongs to Canaan tribes, why do Persians think it is their own instrument. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.51.181.43 (talk) 22:29, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Good point. Daf is prevalent throughout the middle east, and has been there got thousands of years. How could it be defined as a Persian instrument? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:1205:C0BB:4085:D69F:1C49:C39F (talk) 14:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Dayereh and Riq into Daf. They are basically the same musical instrument, with same origin and history. They are just known by different names in different areas, and in some areas the same instrument is referred by all these names. Even if there is some difference among them, which I don't think there is, then it could be stated in a single article under "Variations" section. --Wildhorse3 (talk) 01:26, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Daf in Punjab
The daf or dafli is a common and popular folk instrument used in the Punjab region, including Punjab and Haryana states, and also in parts of Rajasthan. Please also explain why you think the provided source is unreliable. Also, if you have a problem with writing "Northwestern India", then it can be changed to "Punjan region and in India" instead. --UnpetitproleX (talk) 00:29, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Though given that it is also used in Rajasthan, writing "Punjab region in India" would also be incorrect, maybe "Punjab and otger regions in India". --UnpetitproleX (talk) 00:32, 20 November 2021 (UTC)


 * The source you cited is from an unreliable publisher, please try to find source from a bit more reliable publisher. No, I dont have any issue if you write Northwestern india if the source says so. The source which you cited talks specifically about the Punjab state of india while the northwestern india includes, Rajhastan, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Utter Pradesh and union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. --Wildhorse3 (talk) 00:39, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The publisher has not been flagged as unreliable on reliable sources noticeboard. If you would like for the source to be flagged as such, you are free to begin a discussion on the noticeboard. Until then, it doesn't appear to be unreliable to me. __UnpetitproleX (talk) 01:10, 20 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Added two references, and also added a paragraph to the history section with those definitely reliable sources. Shouldn't be a problem anymore. UnpetitproleX (talk) 02:02, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
