Editing Excellency (section)

=== Afghanistan ===
In Afghanistan the title ''Jalalat Mahab'' is used for [[Sardar]]s, or Princes of the former [[Barakzai dynasty|Muhammadzai Dynasty]], who are descendants of the Afghan King [[Sultan Mohammad Khan|Sultan Mohammed Khan Telai]]. Although Jalalat Mahab is derived from the Arabic term ''Jalalat'' literally meaning ''His Majesty'', it is regarded as equal to ''His Excellency'' or ''His Royal Highness'' internationally.

The descendants of [[Mohammed Nadir Shah|King Nadir Shah]] held the title ''Alaa Hazrat'' in which context ''Hazrat'' is Turkish and means ''Majesty'' or ''Highness'' and thus literally translated means ''Higher Majesty'' or ''Higher Highness'' and is internationally also equal to ''His Royal Highness''. The King himself held the title ''Alaa Hazrat Humayoon'' which literally translated means ''His Most Noble Majesty'', and can be equalized with ''His Majesty'' internationally. [[Mohammed Daoud Khan|President Daoud Khan]], the Cousin of the last Afghan King [[Mohammed Zahir Shah|Zahir Shah]], who acted as prime minister under his cousin held the address ''Jalalat Mahab Aali Qadr Sardari Alaa'' during his term as [[Prime minister|Prime Minister]].
