Baron
Count
Duke
A Bambara term (literally, “country-owner”) referring to the leader of a (chiefly Malian or Western African) political state or ruling government.
This term does not necessarily refer to the leader of a specific type of government (such as a king or president), and may simply refer to any head of state that oversees any type of Western African government.
Jamanatigi
In contemporary and traditional Soninke collectives, a term for the chief of a village who may or may not serve a more powerful tunka (king).
The Soninke people are a West African people who primarily speak a variety of Mande languages and are, contemporarily, chiefly present in Mali and Senegal.

Debegume

Sarki
This term has another form, Sarkin, that is frequently used in front of one or more Hausa nouns or adjectives to denote the head of a federal organization or department. For instance, Sarkin Ruwa can be used to denote the “Head of Water Resources” within an overlying country or state government.
A Hebrew title that, in pre-modern eras, references a (chiefly, but not necessarily, Jewish) king, prince or captain.
Nasi
This term is contemporarily used in (chiefly Jewish or Hebrew-speaking) politics in the same sense that the term President is used in English. In any other context, or at any other period in time, however (including within the Torah / Old Testament), this term is exclusively used similarly to Prince or King in English.
An honorific title and surname in Islam, used to denote Muslims who are confirmed descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, namely through his grandsons, Imam Hasan ibn Ali and Imam Husayn ibn Ali.
This title is also sometimes used, perhaps more rarely, as a title for denoting the kings or chiefs of a nation or political body in the Arab world, and can also sometimes be bequeathed upon meritorious Muslims as a form of respect, regardless of those Muslims’ actual genetic relation, or lack thereof, to the Prophet Muhammad.
