Vampire is Vampir in Turkish, this page is wrong.
The Turkish word for vampire is vampir. I request a change. It's wrong information. 85.99.199.107 (talk) 19:54, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

:The etymology of the word itself is from Serbian old Slavonic language "pir" meaning dinning. And word "van" out, go outside. Which can be interpreted as getting out of grave and dinning 178.189.48.98 (talk) 10:53, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Etymology of the word
The etymology of the word itself is from Serbian old Slavonic language "pir" meaning dinning. And word "van" out, go outside. Which can be interpreted as getting out of grave and dinning. 178.189.48.98 (talk) 10:52, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

The fifth sentence of the first paragraph of the “Etymology and word distribution” section contains some egregious spelling errors and one questionable word usage. I am quoting the sentence here, with the errors italicized and my suggested corrections in parentheses.
“Oxford and others maintan (maintain) a Tukish (Turkish) origin (from Turkish uber, meaning "witch"), which passed to English via Hugarian (Hungarian) and French mediation (derivation).”

"Most people associate vampires with Count Dracula, the legendary, blood-sucking subject of Bram Stoker’s epic novel Dracula, which was published in 1897."
