==Feminine forms== A feminine form of ''sultan'', used by Westerners, is '''[[Sultana (title)|sultana]]''' or '''sultanah''' and this title has been used legally for some (not all) [[Muslim women]] monarchs and sultan's mothers and chief consorts. However, [[Turkish language|Turkish]] and [[Ottoman Turkish language|Ottoman Turkish]] also uses ''sultan'' for imperial lady, as [[Turkish grammar]] uses the same words for both women and men (such as [[Hurrem Sultan]] and Sultan Suleiman Han ([[Suleiman the Magnificent]])). The female leaders in [[Muslim history]] are correctly known as "sultanas". However, the wife of the sultan in the [[Sultanate of Sulu]] is styled as the "panguian" while the sultan's chief wife in many sultanates of [[Indonesia]] and [[Malaysia]] are known as "permaisuri", "Tunku Ampuan", "Raja Perempuan", or "Tengku Ampuan". The [[queen consort]] in [[Brunei]] especially is known as ''Raja Isteri'' with the title of ''Pengiran Anak'' suffixed, should the queen consort also be a royal princess.
