Beg (English spelling) [Türkiye]

Japanese: ベグ(英語表記)beg[トルコ]
Beg (English spelling) [Türkiye]
A title meaning "chief" or "ruler." It has been used in various ways depending on the region and time period, and there are many variations in the word, such as bag, bek, bey, and bi, but all of them can be traced back to the ancient Turkish word bag. It is not an original Turkish word, but a loanword from other languages, and there are two theories about its origin: it comes from the Persian word bag (sacred) and the Chinese word bo (grand). The ancient Turkish word beg was not a specific official title, but a title used by the general public to refer to someone of noble status.

Japanese:
〈首長〉〈支配者〉を意味する称号。地域と時代によりさまざまな用法があり,語形にもbäg,ベクbek,ベイbey,ビーbīなど多くの変化形があるが,すべては古代トルコ語のbägにさかのぼる。本来のトルコ語ではなく,他の言語からの借用語で,語源に関しては,ペルシア語のbag(神聖な)とする説と,中国語の〈伯〉とする説がある。古代トルコ語のベグは,特定の官称号ではなく,一般人民に対して,貴族身分の者を指す称号であった。
