Notes
[edit | edit source]- ^ The name in Persian (ملگشاهی) is from the old name, Melkishi, a Kurdish[3] tribe spread from Ilam to Ardahan province in Turkey. There is a Georgian counterpart to this tribe, namely the Melikishvili. The Malekshahi form one of the largest tribes in Iran, Iraq and Turkey. Melikshahi Kurdish language and dialect is Malekshahi.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
