Persian

Alternative forms

Etymology

From Arabic بَيْنَ ٱلْمِلَلِ (bayna l-milali, “between the nations”) + the Persian ending ی (-i). The Arabic word مِلّة (milla) is used in the uncommon or dated sense “people, nation”, which is current in Persian ملت (mellat). Compare Turkish beynelmilel (“international”). In Arabic itself, the word دُوَلِيّ (duwaliyy) has become standardised for “international”.
