Emir (pronounced [eˈmiːr], Arabic: أمير‎ ʾAmīr(Feminine: Emira, أميرة ʾAmīrah), meaning "commander", "general", or "prince"; also transliterated as Amir, Aamir or Ameer) is a title of high office, used throughout the Muslim world. Emirs are usually considered high-ranking Sheikhs, but in monarchic states, the term is also used for Princes, with "Emirate" being analogous to a sovereign principality.

While Emir is a common transliteration in English and other languages, the form Amir is found for numerous compounds (e.g., admiral) and names. Transliteration differs depending on the sources consulted.

What is a Muslim commander called?

There is no " Muslim tribal chief." You probably mean sheikh (best pronounced "shike" or "shake" but also "sheek"), which is the usual title for the leader of an Arab family or village, i.e. a tribe. The word is not a Muslim title. It simply means "old man." An Islamic spiritual leader is called an imam, which is not a tribal title.
