The word "kasbah" may also be used to describe the old part of a city, in which case it has the same meaning as a medina quarter. Some of the prominent examples of kasbah as an old city is the Casbah of Algiers and the Casbah of Dellys. In Turkish and Urdu the word "kasaba" refers to a settlement larger than a village but smaller than a city; in short, a town. In Serbo-Croatian, "kasaba" (Cyrillic: ) means an undeveloped, provincial small town. In India, a qasbah is a small town distinguished by the presence of Muslim families of rank.
