Central Asia is a general term for a large region in the center of the Asian continent. Over the past few decades, ideas about which countries should be included have changed over and over again. In a narrower sense, Central Asia mainly includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, eastern Iran, northern Pakistan, Kashmir, and Xinjiang and Tibet in western China. This corresponds to a more complete definition of Central Asia. In addition to the Central Asian steppe country, this also includes the inland highland regions of Highland Asia. Central Asia used to be known as the land of the Tatars or (tartar).
