Agal (accessory)
An agal (; also spelled iqal, egal, or igal) is a clothing accessory traditionally worn by Arab men. It is a doubled black cord used to keep a keffiyeh in place on the wearer's head. Agals are traditionally made of goat or camel hair. Modern agals typically use cord manufactured for this purpose (rulers of Bahrain in particular are known for wearing elaborate agal designs), but plain rope is still occasionally utilized. It is traditionally worn by Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Jordan, parts of Palestine, the Negev in Israel, Deir ez-Zor and Hauran in Syria, Sinai and Sharqia in Egypt), and by Ahwazi Arabs.

AGAL (association)
The Associaçom Galega da Língua is a reintegracionist group created in 1981 that aims for the full normalization of the Galician language, which it considers to be a branch of the Galician-Portuguese language. Contrary to the norms of the RAG, its ''Comissom Lingüística'' published its own norms in 1983 titled ''Estudo crítico das normas ortográficas e morfolóxicas do idioma galego''. Today, these norms, revised and expanded, are condensed in the work ''Ortografia Galega Moderna confluente com o Português no mundo''. AGAL seeks to incorporate Galician into the Galician-Luso-Brazilian linguistic sphere. It considers that Galician is the name that Portuguese has in Galicia and accepts that the international name is ''Portuguese''. Constitution of AGAL In May 1981, several meetings took place in Santiago de Compostela, concluding that it was necessary to take advantage of the new political conditions ( Statute of Autonomy of Galicia) to address the problems of the Galici ...
