م mīm
م mīm, the thirty-first letter of the Urdū or Hindūstānī alphabet (the twenty-eighth of the Persian alphabet, and twenty-fourth of the Arabic). It is one of the labial letters, its sound being that of the English m. The corresponding letter of the Hindī is म ma, the twenty-fifth consonant of the Nāgarī alphabet, and the nasal letter of the fifth or labial class. As a numeral (see abjad) mīm denotes 40; and, by way of abbreviation, it may signify the month Mǒḥarram. Under the Mogal government mīm was the countersign by the Dīvān upon an imperial grant or assignment of revenue:—ma-kār, s.m. The letter, or the sound ma.
