Talk:Emirate of Nejd

Part of
The emirates currently forming the UAE were at one time - up until 1891 - part of the second Saudi State? This is an extraordinary claim made on the basis of no citation and which is clearly disproved by a large bulk of well known and documented history. The rulers of what became known as the 'Trucial Coast' - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Qawain and Fujeirah were regarded as sovereign by the British, the dominant power in the region at the time, and were signatories to treaties (ie: recognised as being in a position of authority to make treaties rather than as being Saudi vassals) with the British in 1820, 1843, 1853 and in 1892. In fact, Saudi invaders were driven from Buraimi in 1870 by the then ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:57, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

It was known that the second Saudi State was an internal state that located in Nejd. I dont agree its part of all these countries.  A M M A R   16:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * It wasn't always restricted to Najd. They took over al-Hasa and Qatif from Bani Khalid in 1830.  As for the other regions, here are some citations from Vassiliev:


 * Bahrain:


 * "Thus Faisal [ibn Turki] started the new period of his rule from the liquidation of the small but troublesom Bahraini enclave and the restoration of his formal suzerainty over the island." (p. 177)


 * Qatar:


 * "The peace [between Faisal and Bahrain] was short-lived, however, and hostilities resumed in 1850. Faisal's troops occupied Qatar." (p. 185)


 * Oman and UAE:


 * "[In 1828] Turki [ibn Abdallah] appointed Umar ibn Muhammad ibn Ufaisan as emir of al-Buraimi" (p. 165 -- Al-Buraimi is today an Omani city on the border with al-Ain in the UAE)


 * "Sultan Said [of Muscat] agreed to pay the emir of Riyadh 5,000 riyals andd the two leaders ... divided up the Arabian coast between them ... According to A.J. Wilson, a British diplomat and historian, 'by 1833 the whole coast of the Persian Gulf acknowledged Wahabi rule and paid tribute'." (p. 165)


 * "In 1853 Abdallah, Faisal's son, arrived there with troops. The local tribal shaikhs and the rulers of the coastal states hastened to express their submission to Riyadh." (p. 186)


 * "...there was a period when their tax-collectors operated throughout a considerable part of Oman." (p. 186)


 * You'll probably find similar information on Mokatel's encyclopedia. -- Slacker (talk) 01:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes you right again, see the last section in this.   A M M A R   02:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try to generate a map according to collection of information.   A M M A R   02:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect Redirection
Searching "Second Saudi State" or clicking on a link saying "Second Saudi State" automatically redirects me to the article on the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa (1902-1921), which was the third Saudi State. To add to my confusion, when I click the link for that article's discussion page, I'm automatically redirected to this discussion page, on the Emirate of Nejd (1818-1891), the actual third Saudi state. What's more, when I search "Third Saudi State" I'm redirected to the article on the current Saudi state, which is, as I understand it, the sixth incarnation of a Saudi state. Could someone who knows how please fix this? 216.40.146.90 (talk) 09:52, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Frank

change of the flag
For quite a while I have noticed a change of the second Saudi states flag but I don't know why this happened. please explain to me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:900B:112:9C00:C47E:71BD:FD87:7A06 (talk) 02:55, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, it looks like people are changing it to the flag of the First Saudi State. I've changed it back. If the flag in the file called Flag of the Second Saudi State.svg is not actually the correct flag of the Second Saudi State, nobody has mentioned it here, much less given any evidence that this is so. I'd like an explanation too! Lusanaherandraton (talk) 03:22, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

The "second saudi state flag" is mislabeled. The green with moon flag was used by Diriyah before Egyptian occupation and was used again after, from independence from Egypt until it was fully absorbed by Jabal Shammar in 1891. The flag "second saudi state flag" should be called "third saudi state flag" and was adopted by Nejd & Hasa after independence from Jabal Shammar in 1902 --Havsjö (talk) 08:38, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Changing spelling of ‘Nejd’ to ‘Najd’.
The proper way to say such a name is Najd, as per Najdi Arabic as well.

Both ways are correct in the English language, although to make it right 2/2 is by using the Arabic and native way of saying such a place. “Najd” is the proper pronunciation.

Please change it to this spelling, or allow a discussion to be had so that I can take part in to reach a final conclusion. WatanWatan2020 (talk) 00:22, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
