Each of these entries contain overlapping definitions (and similar etymologies), and they should probably be merged into a single entry as they seem to be alternative spellings of the same term. OED2 has sirkar and circar. Einstein2 (talk) 14:20, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Einstein2 as a speaker of Indian English, I confirm that sirkar, sircar, sarkar, circar are all alternative romanisations of Hindi/Urdu/Persian sarkār. I'll make sarkar as the main entry if there are no objections, as virtually all modern romanisation systems of Hindi/Urdu/Persian provide sarkār (formal) or sarkar (informal).
