The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Comoros: Comoros – sovereign island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa on the northern end of the Mozambique Channel between northern Madagascar and northeastern Mozambique. The nearest countries to the Comoros are Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar, and the Seychelles. At 2,235 km² (863 sq mi)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UN Demographic Yearbook )〕 the Comoros is the third smallest African nation by area; and with a population estimated at 798,000 it is the sixth smallest African nation by population (though it has one of the highest population densities in Africa), and is the southern most member state of the Arab League. Its name derives from the Arabic word ("moon").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Comores Online.com - reference to the history of the name )〕 The country is notable for its diverse culture and history, as a nation formed at the crossroads of many civilizations. It has three official languages—Comorian (''Shikomor''), Arabic, and French, and it is the only state to be a member of each of the African Union, Francophonie, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Arab League, and Indian Ocean Commission, among other international organizations. However it has had a troubled history since independence in 1975, marked by an inordinate number of ''coups d'état''. ==General reference== * Pronunciation: * Common English country name: The Comoros * Official English country name: The Union of the Comoros * Common endonym(s): * Official endonym(s): * Adjectival(s): Comorian * Demonym(s): * Etymology: Name of Comoros * ISO country codes: KM, COM, 174 * ISO region codes: See ISO 3166-2:KM * Internet country code top-level domain: .km 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「Outline of Comoros」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
