Sangao (Mardan District)
Sangao is a small village at the North West end of the Katlang area of District Mardan (North West Frontier Province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Its population is unknown but certainly very small. Towards the North East of the village there is a series of mountains arranged in a half circle. In the southern region of Sangao lies another village called Babozai. The next door neighbor of the South West border is the Mian Khan village. These villages are so close that often people call them all by one name: Mian Khan-Sangao. Caves lie in the mountains of Sangao that contain ancient history. However, these caves have yet to be explored and are therefore of special interest to historians, explorers, and adventurers. Recently a new road has been constructed linking Sangao to Buner District. The road runs through the mountains of the village.

Sanskrit
Sanskrit (; attributively , ; nominally , , ) is a classical language belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. It arose in South Asia after its predecessor languages had diffused there from the northwest in the late Bronze Age. Sanskrit is the sacred language of Hinduism, the language of classical Hindu philosophy, and of historical texts of Buddhism and Jainism. It was a link language in ancient and medieval South Asia, and upon transmission of Hindu and Buddhist culture to Southeast Asia, East Asia and Central Asia in the early medieval era, it became a language of religion and high culture, and of the political elites in some of these regions. As a result, Sanskrit had a lasting impact on the languages of South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, especially in their formal and learned vocabularies. Sanskrit generally connotes several Old Indo-Aryan language varieties. The most archaic of these is the Vedic Sanskrit found in the Rig Veda, a colle ...
