Vizier

Diwan A vizier (; ; ) is a high-ranking political advisor or minister in the Near East. The Abbasid caliphs gave the title ''wazir'' to a minister formerly called ''katib'' (secretary), who was at first merely a helper but afterwards became the representative and successor of the ''dapir'' (official scribe or secretary) of the Sassanian kings. Advisor is the nearest present English word to this Avestan one, Ad+Wiser. In modern usage, the term has been used for government ministers in much of the Middle East and beyond.

Several alternative spellings are used in English, such as ''vizir'', ''wazir'', and ''vezir''. Provided by Wikipedia
