Central Asia is a diverse land with many ethnic groups, languages, religions and tribes. This article discusses all of the above, and includes the demographics of the nations of the five former Soviet republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, a group which has a total population of about 61 million. When Afghanistan, which is not always considered part of the region, is included, then Central Asia has a total population of about 90 million as of 2010. It is to be noted that Pakistan has a large population of Central Asian peoples. 〔https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/〕 Although most central Asians have belonged to religions which were introduced into the area within the last 1,500 years,〔https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/〕 such as Sunni Islam, Shia Islam, Ismaili Islam, Tengriism, and Syriac Christianity, Buddhism was introduced to Central Asia over 2,200 years ago, and Zoroastrianism, over 2,500 years ago.〔http://www.duke.edu/~jds17/zoroast.html〕 ==Ethnic history of Central Asia== *Amerindians-migrated to the Americas *Chouchi *Dayuan *Di (Wu Hu) *Dongyi *Finno-Ugric peoples - Some Finno-Ugric peoples migrated to Europe and Northern Asia and some Finno-Ugric peoples assilimated into the Russians, Iranians, Indo-Aryans and Turkic peoples. *Hephtalites *Inuit - migrated to the Americas *Samoyedic peoples *Indigenous peoples of Siberia *Tanguts - extinct *Tocharians - extinct European people *Uar-(Eurasian Avars)? *Xionites *Xirong (people) *Ethnic groups in Chinese history *List of extinct languages of Asia *Demographics of Siberia *Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East *Archaeology of the Americas *Settlement of the Americas *List of extinct indigenous peoples of Russia Modern Central Asians (Indigenous peoples): *Aimaq people *Hazara people *Iranian peoples: Historic Iranian peoples: * *Scythians - migrated * *Saka - migrated * *Sogdians *Kalash people *Mongols: Historic Mongolic peoples: * *Beidi * *Xiongnu * *Xunyu (Xiongnu) * *Xianbei * *Tuoba * *Tuyuhun * *Nirun or Rouran * *Khitan people * *List of medieval Mongol tribes and clans *Nuristani people *Tibetans *Tungusic peoples *Turkic peoples: Historic Turkic peoples: * *Tiele 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Demographics of Central Asia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
