C Language Standard Collections Where Are They?

I have committed to learning C now, I'm good with Python/PHP/Bash but I've decided I'm limited by not being fluent in C. However I cannot imagine working in a language without lists and hashes, maybe I'm just jumping a gun, but surely there are 'standard' collection libraries. I do not see any in the GNU standard lib though, any suggestions?

There aren't really standard collections in C. Being a very low-level language (compared to C++ and more "modern" languages)

C++ adds these via the Standard Template Library. Most of the "collections" such as hashing and lists are based on object oriented or generic programming techniques unavailable (other than via convention) in C.
