Countries and Capitals of Asia
Selected countries and capitals of Asia.
Forty-seven sovereign states of Asia with their capital cities, including the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia. Transcontinental countries are listed under Asia when most of their territory or population is there, and states with multiple or contested capitals are annotated.
Use it when
- You need a country's capital in Asia, or to validate a list.
- You are building a quiz, a form dropdown or a geographic lookup.
Watch out for
- Where a country's capital is disputed (for example Israel and Yemen), the entry states the facts and the disagreement instead of picking a side silently.
- Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Kazakhstan are transcontinental or border cases; some references place them in Europe.
