Great Sultan is one of various informal titles, such as Grand Turk, used to refer to the Ottoman Sultan. The latter ruler is known in Ottoman Turkish as ''Padishah'', ''Hünkar'' or ''Hakan'', the sovereign of the Ottoman dynasty. ==Etymology== Ottoman rulers were often styled ''Ulugh Sultan'', a Turkic term meaning "Great Sultan". Orhan, the second of the Ottoman Sultans, used an Arabic derivative of this title, ''Al-sultan al-azam''. More appropriate would be to use the style Sultan, or rather Sultan of Sultans (''Sultan us-Selatin'' in Ottoman Turkish or ''Sultan es-Salatin'' in Arabic), one of the various official titles used by the Ottoman Sultans. Like Great Khan instead of ''Khagan'', such translations do not render the subtle complexities of the original phrases. However, the usage is so frequent since centuries that it can be considered an established convention. A curious circumstance is that the Ottoman dynastic tradition was to give the title of sultan (elsewhere a Muslim ruler) to princes and princesses, merely as close relatives of the ruling Padishah, without an appanage (as the empire was indivisible). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Sultan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
