musulman is also the common spanish term for muslim, as it is with portuguese (not sure of spelling), greek (different alphabet, obviously), and many other languages.
:According to Muslim, it is also close to the Urdu pronunciation --Henrygb 15:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: A certain user is insisting on adding Hindi script. Although this word has it's roots in Persian and Urdu. If we accept his logic, we have to add the scripts of all languages listed in the srticle making it just a list of scripts. Szhaider 00:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your inquiry. The word does not actually have its roots from Persian or Turkish but from the French musulmane. However, it has common usage in South Asia. In fact, if you type the word in your search engine, most of the articles you will get will be India-related. Any transliteration of the word from languages in which the word is commonly used will be accepted in this article. I hope this helps. Thanks, AnupamTalk 00:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted your recent edit for the reasons I provided above. I have provided a source for you to verify my facts: Encyclopædia of Religion: Etymology of Musalman. All scripts from languages in which Musalman is standard can be placed on this article. Please discuss here before making any changes. Bahut bahut shukria, AnupamTalk 21:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to understand that this is encyclopaedia not a dictionary where all languages' scripts can be listed just because someone is obsessed with filling articles with his/her favourit scripts. Only real and relevent scripts should be added. Most of Indian muslims prefer Urdu and Arabic scripts over so-called Hindi and Devangari. Therefore, logic of presence of Muslims in India is baseless. The link that you have given doesn't give even a slight hint of Hindi anywhere. In the light of this link, Arabic based script should be considered Persian only as French use Roman script.

replies: text: Not really. If you watch the news, you must have noticed that Indian Muslims protesting Pope Benedict employed Indic scripts in their protest signs. Urdu is only used in the former four literary centers of Urdu (i.e. Lucknow, Hyderabad, Delhi, Aligarh - none of which lie in present day Pakistan - and Jammu and Kashmir) The rest of the Muslims in India use Indic scripts. Since you properly referenced the article (with my reference), removed your incorrect view that musalman comes from Urdu, and removed the Urdu script, the article can stay as is.

text: Don't think it's an Arabic word as such; it's a Persian word which was derived from an Arabic word... AnonMoos (talk) 14:11, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
