[edit] Hindi & Urdu

I looked them up just to make sure, and both my Hindi and Urdu dictionaries gave these respective entries:

ताँगा, tāṁgā & تانگا tāṅgā. The one's given may be regional, or variants? (I can imagine the Urdu also ending in -ah and the Hindi can be written with a simple bindi instead of the candrabindu) The Punjabi is ਤਾਂਗਾ (same as Hindi), and the Bengali, I believe, is টাঙ্গা ṭāṅgā, the only one I found which is retroflex ṭa. But my main knowledge is in Hindi and Urdu, so take the Bangla with a grain of salt.

Also, yes, please merge. Khirad 23:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] =================================================

I am the one who introduced "Tangah" to Wikipedia. I saw the other version, "Tanga", it is OK to merge them appropriately. A good picture with detailed illustration would be great. As I am not in Pakistan right now, I cannot take that kind of picture. pashamuzaffar@yahoo.com
