Talk:Muristan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fact from Muristan appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 17 June 2007.

[edit] Persian?

The Persian for hospital is bimuristan, not Muristan. This is probably a corruption and the article should reflect that

Sources I have seen in the Internet say that the origin of the word is Persian, Arabic, etc. One language may have borrowed from another. I don't have any resources with which to resolve the etymology. If anyone can find out the original source of the word, it would be a great help. MishaPan 22:26, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
