      I mostly agree with unesco except there’s waay too much of China, and probably India

      I think the UNESCO definition is a little too broad. If I had to define it, I’d use the common modern definition + Xinjang, Mongolia and Tuva. I don’t get how northern India, Afghanistan and Tibet are lumped into the great asian steppe region.

      Anything southeast of the kabul valley should not be a part of central Asia

      Also anything east of xi an at minimum

      According to UNESCO I’m Central Asian??? 😭 South-Central maybe, but Pakistan is not just Central Asian.

      UNESCO definition makes sense for west and north, but not the east and south boundaries

      tibet, north india and north pakistan, south siberia and south afghanistan are not in central asia.

      For the people who are wondering why so much of China or even parts of India are here.

      UNESCO is not limiting to current political maps. But a definition that includes geographical, historical, and archeological sites.

      So if you are in the Punjab and dig up a coin from the Kushan, Bactrian, or Yuezhi peoples/kingdoms; those are definitely Central Asian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuezhi

      The UNESCO definition is meant to be broad so that people applying for sites or artifacts to be recognized can be recognized as belonging to multiple heritages.

      for a broader definition i’d use the political one+northern afghanistan, uyghuristan, mongolia, and tuva

      Wait so UNESCO considers Chengdu and most of Sichuan to be Central Asia? That seems a bit silly to me

      I just earlier this morning i was looking at a data set on global historical economic statistics which listed Mongolia as part of the „South and Southeast Asia“ region. Dataset is from the Maddison project for any interested, it is quite good.

      Well, now I have Alexander Borodin’s *In the Steppes of Central Asia* playing in my head…
