Editing Count (section)

==Equivalents==
Like other major Western [[noble title]]s, Count is sometimes used to render certain titles in non-western languages with their own traditions, even though they are as a rule historically unrelated and thus hard to compare, but which are considered "equivalent" in rank.

This is the case with:

*the [[China|Chinese]] ''Bó'' (伯), or "Bojue" (伯爵), hereditary title of nobility ranking below ''Hóu'' (侯) and above ''Zĭ'' (子)
*earl of Britain
*the [[Japan]]ese equivalent ''[[Hakushaku]]'' ({{lang|ja|伯爵}}), adapted during the [[Meiji restoration]]
*the [[Korea]]n equivalent ''Baekjak'' (백작) or ''Poguk''
* in [[Vietnam]], it is rendered ''Bá'', one of the lower titles reserved for male members of the Imperial clan, above ''Tử'' (Viscount), ''Nam'' (Baron) and ''Vinh phong'' (lowest noble title), but lower than—in ascending order—''Hầu'' (Marquis), ''Công'' (Prince), ''Quận-Công'' (Duke/Duke of a commandery) and ''Quốc-Công'' (Grand Duke/Duke of the Nation), all under ''Vương'' (King) and ''Hoàng Đế'' (Emperor).
*the [[India]]n ''[[Sardar]]'', adopted by the [[Maratha Empire]], additionally, [[Jagir]]dar and [[Deshmukh]] are close equivalents
*the [[Arabic]] equivalent ''[[Sheikh]]''
*In traditional [[Sulu]] equivalent to [[Datu Sadja]]
