Sangar (fortification)
A Sangar (or sanger) ((ペルシア語:سنگر)) is a temporary fortified position with a breastwork originally constructed of stones,〔('Afridi Picket near to Jumrood', 1878 )〕 and now built of sandbags and similar materials.〔Mark Nicol (War in Afghanistan: Britain's Vietnam ), Daily Mail 1 October 2006. See section "They could not see properly"〕 Sangars are normally constructed in terrain where the digging of trenches would not be practicable. The term is still frequently used by the British Army.
The word was adopted from Hindi and Pashto and derives originally from the Persian word ''sang'', "stone".〔Garland Hampton Cannon, Alan S. Kaye. ''The Persian contributions to the English language: an historical dictionary'', p. 126. Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 2001. ISBN 978-3-447-04503-2〕 Its first appearance in English (as recorded by the ''Oxford English Dictionary'') is in the form ''sunga'', and dates from 1841.〔 〕
==Traditional usage==
The term was originally used by the British Indian Army to describe small temporary fortified positions on the North West Frontier and in Afghanistan. It was widely used by the British during the Italian Campaign of World War II.
