Bandar Seri Begawan
Bandar Seri Begawan (Jawi: بندر سري بڬاوان ; ) formerly known as Brunei Town, is the capital and largest city of the Sultanate of Brunei. Bandar Seri Begawan has an estimated population of 20,000, and including the whole Brunei-Muara District, the metro area has an estimated population of 279,924.
==Etymology==
The original name for this city was "Bandar Brunei" or "Brunei Town" in English. In 1967, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III abdicated in favour of his eldest son, Hassanal Bolkiah and took the title of "Seri Begawan". Bolkiah was then made as a defence minister and in 5 October 1970, he renamed the city to honour his late father.〔 The word "''Begawan''" was also used for Bruneian monarchs who have abdicated, the word originally coming from the Sanskrit word for "god": भगवान ''bhagavān''. Beside that, ''Seri Begawan'' was known as "blessed one" in Sanskrit.〔 ''Seri'' comes from the honorific Sanskrit word ''Sri'', and ''Bandar'' comes from Persian via Indian languages and originally meant "harbour" or "port" or "haven".〔〔 In Malay, ''bandar'' is known as a "town" or a "city".
