Yashmac, also known as yashmak or yasmak, is a veil traditionally worn by Muslim women to cover their faces. There are various synonyms for this word, such as niqab, burqa, hijab, and chador. All of these terms refer to different types of veils or headscarves worn by Muslim women. A niqab covers the entire face except for the eyes, while a burqa covers the entire face and body with a mesh panel over the eyes. A hijab refers to a headscarf that covers the hair and neck but leaves the face uncovered. A chador is a full-body cloak worn by some Muslim women in Iran. Each of these synonyms has its own cultural and religious significance, but they all serve the purpose of modesty and privacy for Muslim women.
