| I find the term 'burga' or 'burka' to be the most confusing because it changes by country. In Afghanistan it is the enveloping gown where one has to peer though a grate. |
Yes, but only for English speakers. I don't claim any knowledge of Dari or Pashto, but I believe that the, umm, garment is known locally as a chador. |
