Talk:Mir of Hunza

old
Copy-pasted from the Mir of Hunza article:


 * Hunza is considered to be the greatest mountain civilization. Its unique Socio-economic-political system was the greatest factor in developing the society of Hunza. There are three regions of Hunza, Shinaki or lower Hunza where people speak shina, central Hunza where the language is Burushiaski and Herber or Gojal where Wakhi is spoken. The Wakhi is spoken in Ishkoman, and Southern parts of Tadjistan.

---I removed this---written by I haven't checked who---because it pertains to Hunza, not Mir of Hunza. Alexander 007 20:13, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

out of place
This was inserted as a parenthesis in an unrelated sentence:


 * Mir is not a recent title, the history goes back to Shakhan brought from Darwas. When Raja Maghlut of Nagar killed Raja Gikisking of Hunza both migrated from Gilgit the Wazir Machusing with his brother Mamusing went to Darwaz in Badakhshan and brought Shakhan as King of Hunza this title was used for the Kings of Hunza first time as Shakhan become the King of Hunza. Word Raja comes from Indien languages while Mir from Pamiri languages. If one can visit the books of British Empire time this title can be seen used for Mir Nazim Khan, Sfdar Khan, Ghazan Khan Hunza and for their forefathers

I'm not going to try to decide how much of this needs to be here, and how much can be incorporated by reference to Mir (title). Someone else can put (part of) it back in a more appropriate place. —Tamfang (talk) 22:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Divergent source
The following is a list collected by Jay Milton Hoffman, author of Hunza: 15 secrets of the world's healthiest and oldest living people (1968) in his interviews of Mir Muhammad Jamal Khan (page 84). There are changes in the two oldest ones:


 * Mir Shah Salem Khan (1833 - 1855)
 * Mir Mohammed Ghazan Khan I (1855 - 1886)
 * Mir Mohammed Safdar Ali Khan (1886 - 1892)
 * Mir Mohammed Nazim Khan (1892 - 1938)
 * Mir Mohammed Ghazan Khan II (1938 - 1945)

I am not suggesting that these are the real figures. Mir Ghazanfar Ali Khan I is not enlisted for some unknown reason. Still it deserves more investigation of other sources, and a clear referencing of them. Bernard Bel (talk) 05:58, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Ayasho / Ayash dynasty
Based on some sources I read, this is the "Ayash dynasty" founded by Ayasho. If confirmed the article should probably be renamed such, as the current name is fairly generic. --Voidvector (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
