Kyrgyzstan has said it hopes to attract more tourists after its distinctive national hat, the kalpak, won Unesco intangible heritage status.

The kalpak - which many Kyrgyz believe symbolises the country's snow-capped mountains - already has its own national day in the Central Asian nation.

It was prompted by a scandal in 2017 that saw the kalpak put on a dog.

The kalpak was one of 40 cultural artefacts added to Unesco's intangible heritage status at the agency's annual meeting.

Sulu, gho, kera, kalpak, dishdasha and dashiki sound more like crossword puzzlers than words in common parlance.
