Naan as known today originates from Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, with influence from the Middle East.

I would propose to change this sentence as follows: "Naan as known today originates from Central Asia." (The reason for this is that the oven in which this 'naan as known today' is baked, the tanur (or tonir), originates in the Middle East, and subsequently traveled East to India, most likely with the Persian conquerors or the subcontinent. Without tanur, no tandoori naan! What distinguishes the Indian version is the solely its shape, akin to a slipper.)

The most familiar and readily available varieties of naan in Western countries are the varieties from the Indian subcontinent. In Iran, from which the word originated,[8] nān (نان) does not carry any special significance, as it is merely the generic word for any kind of bread, as well as in other West Asian nations or ethnic groups in the region, such as amongst Kurds, Turks, Azerbaijanis (from both Azerbaijan and Iran), etc

I would propose to remove "Turks" from this list, as the Turkish word for bread is 'ekmek' not nan. Shanbalileh (talk) 15:01, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
