[edit] New Manat

What will the ISO code be? AZN? And why is there so little information about this particular revaluation available on the internet? Nightstallion 22:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Azerbaijani?

I looked in the Merriam-Webster dictionary (www.m-w.com), and it doesn't list "Azeri". It does have "Azerbaijani" as what the people and their language is called. Can anyone give a reference for Azeri, or should it be Azerbaijani? Ingrid 01:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Azerbaijani is the proper name for the people and the language. Language can also be called Azerbaijani language or Azerbaijani Turkish language, although the second is not official. Azeri is used as a substitute for Azerbaijani. Although it is widely used, it is not proper and some Azerbaijanis even consider it a pejorative. --TimBits 02:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rewritten

I tried to reword the blatant copyvio into something usable, though I'm not happy with the red links and the language style. —Nightstallion (?) 14:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manat currency symbol

Where did the Manat currency symbol come from? Is it simply a stylized letter 'm' (i.e. would the general population equally accept an 'm' in a standard font)? Or is it a distinct symbol like £ or $?

What is the common usage? Do people usually write 'm'? Or ман./man.?

(I've brought the page in sync. with the [List of circulating currencies] by adding ман. and man. to the symbol on this page, and by adding 'm' in both places; I can't find a Unicode for the manat symbol.) --Ajhoughton 11:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Look at this symbol from the Azerbaijani wiki: [1]. – Zntrip 17:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
