Jumhuriya

Jumhuriya

Jumhūrīya () is the word for "republic" in the Arabic language. It appears in the original official names of a number of countries whose language is Arabic.

A derivation of the term is jamahiriya, coined by Libyan ruler Muammar al-Gaddafi; while "jumhūrīya" translates as "rule by the public" or "state of the public", jamahiriya - a form derived from the plural of jumhūr - translates as "rule by the masses". In the Libyan sense, the closest English equivalent of such a term would be "People's Republic".
