	Great Sultan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		More appropriate would be to use the style Sultan, or rather Sultan of Sultans (Sultan us-Selatin in Turkish or Sultan es-Salatin in Arabic), one of his many official titles.
		Like Great Khan (but there the usage is so frequent since centuries that is can be considered an established convention) instead of Khagan, such western translations fail to translate or properly render the subtle complexities of the originals.
		A curious circumstance is that the Ottoman dynastic tradition was to give the style of sultan (elsewhere a Muslim ruler) to male and female princ(ess)es, merely as close relatives of the ruling Padishah, without an appanage (as the empire was indivisible).

		It is similar to the title Great Sultan, which is translated from Arabic.
		Although the notion and title of an emperor is largely alien to Islamic tradition, the Ottoman dynasty which, employed the title of "Sultan of Sultans" in its official full style had perhaps the best claim to usage, due to its territorial extent and great length.
