Sorry my friend but you are wrong. Beg is Turk too. Beg and Bey are the same. Please look at Atabeg.

In modern Turkish, the hard G found in the word beg has transmuted to a yumushak ge, which sounds pretty much like a Y, or in some cases a glottal stop; it depends on the word. Hence, bey. In parts of Anatolia, however, I've still heard it pronounced beg.

There is a distinction between the terms beg and pasa. Both are ranks. However, bey was (and is) also added to the end of a given name for virtually any adult male, more or less approximating the English Mr., French, monsieur, etc.

No problem at all as I look forward and appreciate any feedback and free lessons. Thank you for your correction.
I was referring to what I learned in the former Yu and what was used there ( i.e. Southern Dalmatia, BiH and Boka Kotorska Montenegro)
