Talk:Salwar

name
I wrote this article after careful investigation. I also heavily contributed to the shalwar kameez article which has a long history of which term to use: shalwar or salwar. The shalwar kameez covers many designs of which the Punjabi salwar suit is one. The term Punjabi salwar suit is more appropriate as it is region specific and covers the three piece ensemble. You reverted my change as there is no consensus but I cannot recall any discussion to change the name in the first place.This article is not just about the salwar but the outfit. I wish to rename the article. Thanks.User:Malikhpur 19:50, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merger of articles
A proposal has been made to merge the two articles dealing with sirwal and salwar traditional garments. While there are similarities and possibly a common origin, the salwar trousers are closely identified with the Punjabi regions of India and Pakistan, where they are worn by men and women. The sirwal by contrast is associated with North Africa and to a lesser extent the Balkans. In addition it is a male garment of a somewhat different pattern and, at least historically, a distinctive feature of the "oriental" uniform worn by the zouave, tirailleur and spahi regiments of the French Army. In short merging the two articles could be confusing, although certainly a link would be warranted.Buistr (talk) 23:28, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
