Talk:Shaam (disambiguation)

The name of Shaam
Shaam is another way to spell Shām, and both are English transliterations of شَـام, which would originally refer to the Syrian region,  so the actor's page was renamed to Shaam (actor). That said, 'Shaam' is not the same as the English word 'Sham', which can mean 'Fraud'. In a word that is transliteration from another language, you have a letter with a diacritic, such as 'ā' or 'â', then it can mean that there is an emphasis on its length in the language from which the word was transliterated. For example, the names for Jesus and Moses in the Qur'an are respectively عِـيْـسَى and مُـوْسَى,  which can be transliterated like these: 'Ī', 'Î', 'Ee' and 'Ii' were transliterated from ي, 'ā', 'á' and 'aa' were transliterated from ى,    and 'ū', 'û', 'oo' and 'uu' were transliterated from و.
