The maund (/ˈmɔːnd/), mun or mann (Bengali: মন; Urdu: من) is the anglicized name for a traditional unit of mass used in British India, and also in Afghanistan, Persia, and Arabia: the same unit in the Mughal Empire was sometimes written as mann or mun in English, while the equivalent unit in the Ottoman Empire and Central Asia was called the batman. At different times, and in different South Asian localities, the mass of the maund has varied, from as low as 25 pounds (11 kg) to as high as 160 pounds (72½ kg): even greater variation is seen in Persia and Arabia.

  • Das Mann (arabisch منّ, in frühen arabischen Texten auch Manā / منا genannt, persisch من Man) war ein Gewichtsmaß mittlerer Größe, das in verschiedenen islamischen Ländern verwendet wurde. Der Name ist von einer altorientalischen Gewichtseinheit abgeleitet, die auf Akkadisch Manû bzw. Manāʾu hieß und als Mine auch im antiken Mittelmeerraum und im vorislamischen Persien verbreitet war. Während das Mann in Ägypten und Syrien nur eine untergeordnete Rolle neben dem Ratl spielte, war es in Iran, in Arabien, im Irak und im islamischen Indien eine der wichtigsten Gewichtseinheiten. Der syrische Autor Ibn Fadlallāh al-ʿUmarī (gest. 1349) berichtet, dass zu seiner Zeit in Iran Getreide fast ausschließlich mit dem Mann abgewogen wurde. (de)
