SAVAK

Hi, Pantherarosa. I've responded to your concerns about the proper name of SAVAK on my talk page. ♠ SG →Talk 01:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Sipahbud

Thanks for your comments. As you have pointed out, this is only a matter of pronounciation. In this case, I suggest the correct Dari pronounciation "Sipahbūd" and "Sipahsālār" ... not that the "i" is a short one, not a long "ī".

"Sipahsālār" is also the way the Encyclopaedia Iranica and Encyclopaedia of Islam use.

"Iranian Persian" (if you are talking about the Islamic Republic Iran) is not the correct Persian, but rather the dialects of the east. Pārsī-e Darbārī (Darī) is the standard written Persian language, and the person who wrote it that way in the Encyclopaedia of Islam was noone less that Prof. Roger M. Savory, THE expert on post-islamic history of Persia and Safavid Empire.
"Sipahsālār" is mentioned in those encyclopaedias, and since both of them are authoritative (Encyclopaedia Iranica is being published by Prof. Ehsan Yarshater!), we should do the same.
