In Afghanistan, the ''lungee'' is a common name used for the word ''turban''. Afghans simply call a turban ''lungee''. Afghans wear two pieces of fabric and leave the end hanging over the shoulder. ''Lungees'' are more common in rural areas of Afghanistan, as men in urban cities usually wear hats or nothing at all. |
