jungle - Hindi jāngal 'wasteland' ← Sanskrit jāngala 'desert'
Sanskrit Indian Language. Jungle means in Hindi Forest. The word jungle originates from the Sanskrit word jangala (Sanskrit: जंगल), meaning uncultivated land. Although the Sanskrit word refers to dry land, it has been suggested that an Anglo-Indian interpretation led to its connotation as a dense "tangled thicket".while others have argued that a cognate word in Urdu did refer to forests. The term is prevalent in many languages of the Indian subcontinent, and Iranian plateau, particularly in Hindi and Persian.
