Sullaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Borrowed from Punjabi ਸੁੱਲਾ (sullā, “Muslim (derogatory)”). This word is likely a mispronunciation (or perhaps a misspelling in Gurmukhi script) of Punjabi ਮੁੱਲਾ (mullā, “mullah, Islamic religious leader”), derived from Classical Persian ملا (mullā), ultimately from Arabic مُلَّا (mullā). It may also be a contraction of Punjabi ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨ (muslamān, “Muslim”) or Punjabi ਮੁਸਲਾ (muslā, “"carpet kisser", another derogatory term for Muslims, but also refers to a mat or carpet used for Muslim prayers”).

名詞

sulla (plural sullas or sulleh)

1. (South Asia, religious slur, ethnic slur, offensive) A Muslim man; especially one from Pakistan.

使用する際の注意点

• In the modern day, the term is most often used by Sikhs on social media. This usage is rooted in long-standing historical animosity between Sikhs and Muslims in South Asia.
• The term is used infrequently by Hindutva supremacists, as it is not native to Hindi.

同意語

• mulla (rare)
• musalla (very rare)

参考

• sulli, mulli, musalli (equivalent term for Muslim women)
• sikhra, sikhrey (from sikra, sikrey, lit. lice-ridden one(s); an anti-Sikh slur used by Pakistanis, particularly Mirpuris, in reference to Sikhs' long unshaven hair)
