'''Tudung''' (formerly spelled '''tudong''') is a [[Malay language|Malay]] word, literally meaning the noun "cover", which is commonly translated/referred to as [[veil]] or [[headscarf]] in [[English language|English]].

Line 5 ⟶ 8:

In [[Indonesia]], a tudung is a form of [[hijab]] that has a sewn-in curved visor. In Indonesia the word more analogous to the Malaysian word tudong is "kerudung" or "jilbab".

'''Tudong''' is also a word used in [[Thailand]] for when Buddhist monks such as [[Elan Ariel]] undertake forest solitude, following the 13 rules of [[Dhutanga|Thudong]]. Although the definition of Tudong{{citation needed|date=October 2011}} has little to do with wandering, the Thais have adapted the phrase to refer to the act of travelling from place to place and staying in the wilderness.
