Baladiyah (Arabic: بلدية) is a type of Arabic administrative division that can be translated as "district", "sub-district"[1] or "municipality".[2] The plural is baladiyat (Arabic: بلديات). Grammatically, it is the feminine of بلدي "rural, country-, folk-".

The Arabic term amanah (أمانة) is also used for "municipality".[3]

gollark: Because YAML tries to look "simple", it's actually wildly complex, problem-prone, and has weird quirks. Like Go, sort of.
gollark: TOML is, in my opinion, nicer for configs. It's basically standardized INI.
gollark: Also, possibly partly due to point 3, many (dynamic) languages actually implement YAML parsing in a way which allows arbitrary code execution by default. I think Python's yaml library does it unsafely by default (EDIT: see here: https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html though PyYaml at least appears to be changing this now).
gollark: It's not simple. The standard is extremely complex and there are something like nine ways to do multiline strings.
gollark: You might need to enable WAL mode.
