This game is known as congka or congklak in Indonesia, congkak in Malaysia and Brunei, and sungkâ in the Philippines. Historical records show that similar games also existed in Sri Lanka (where it is known as chonka) and India. In Tamilnadu, India, it is known as Pallanguzhi. A similar game is still found in the Maldives, where it is known as ohlvalhu (literally "eight holes"). It has also spread to the Marianas (where it is known as chongka)
Other names for the game include dakon or dhakon , kunggit (Philippines), dentuman lamban (Lampung) and naranj (Maldives) and pallankuzhi (pallanguli game)

Pallanghuzi (pallanguli), or Pallankuli (பல்லாங்குழி in Tamil, ಅಳಗುಳಿ ಮನೆ or Alaguli Mane in Kannada, "వామన గుంటలు" or Picchala Peeta in Telugu, പല്ലാങ്കുഴി in Malayalam), is a traditional ancient mancala game played in South India especially Kerala & Tamil Nadu.

Kalah, also called Kalaha or Mancala, is a game in the mancala family imported in the United States by William Julius Champion, Jr. in 1940. This game is sometimes also called "Kalahari", possibly by false etymology from the Kalahari desert in Namibia.

As the most popular and commercially available variant of mancala in the West, Kalah is also sometimes referred to as Warri or Awari, although those names more properly refer to the game Oware.
