| has gloss | eng: A panhandle is a word used in geography. What people mean when they talk about panhandles is a narrow strip of land, that is surrounded on all sides except one, by one or more countries or regions. The strip of land is connected to the country or region it belongs to on one side only. This looks like the handle of a frying pan. |
| has gloss | eng: A panhandle or salient is an informal geographic term for an elongated tail-like protrusion of a geo-political entity, such as an administrative division or a sovereign state that extends into another such entity as a peninsula extends into the sea. The former "folksy" term derives from the analogous part of a cooking pan and its use is generally confined to the United States. A term used elsewhere is salient, derived from military salients. A panhandle is similar to a peninsula in shape, but unlike a peninsula it is not surrounded by water on three sides (but may have water on one or two sides, like Florida's panhandle) and connected to a geographical mainland, but is a land region surrounded on three sides by land regions not of the same jurisdiction. Instead, a panhandle is delimited by a land border on at least two sides and extends out from the larger geographical body of the administrative unit. |

| has gloss | nld: Een panhandle is een Engelstalige term voor een doorgaans langwerpig uitsteeksel van een geografisch gebied. De naam is afgeleid van de steel van een koekenpan, die een soortgelijke vorm heeft. De term wordt vooral gebruikt in de Verenigde Staten, waar zij verwijst naar koekenpansteelachtige uitsteeksels van een aantal Amerikaanse staten. Een panhandle is qua vorm gelijk aan een schiereiland, maar wordt niet omringd door water maar door land, waarvan aan ten minste twee zijden door gebied dat tot minstens één andere politieke entiteit behoort. |
