Maidan
Maidan is an originally Persian word for a town square or public gathering place, adopted by various other languages: Urdu (''maidān''); Arabic (''maydān''); Turkish ; Bangla ময়দান, meaning field, and Crimean Tatar, from which Ukrainian also borrowed . Its ultimate source is Proto-Indo-European - compare Avestan , Sanskrit () and Latin . Various versions include ''maydan'', ''midan'', ''meydan'', ''majdan'', ''mayadeen'' and ''maydān''. It also means field (मैदान) in Hindi. It became a loanword in other South Asian languages to give similar means, such as in Tamil in which the word is ''maidhanam''. The broad geographical footprint of the use of ''Maidan'' in toponymy, from Central Europe to South-East Asia, is a reflection of the Turkish rule in these areas.
