KulangÃÂr/ Kolangar (Dari: éÃÂÃÂïçñ, Pashto: éÃÂÃÂëçñ) is a village in Pul-i Alam District, Logar province, Afghanistan.
The folk etymology behind the name KulangÃÂr is for it to having to do with a story about a crane (Persian: kulang, éÃÂÃÂï). The more likely origin of the name however are the Dardic words kul meaning "tribe" and aá¹ gÃÂr meaning "fire", making up the meaning "fire tribe". This origin may be a relic of the Dardic languages native to the region in pre-Islamic times.
