Persian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Arabic مُنَاجَاة (munājāh, “intimate conversation”). The religious associations come from Qur'an 19:52, where the verb نَاجَى (nājā) is used to describe God's conversation with Moses, and was popularized by the eleventh-century mystic Abdullah Ansari in his mystical work مناجاتنامه (monâjât-nâme).

- (Iran, formal) IPA(key): [mo.nɒː.d͡ʒɒ́ːt̪]
