Central Asian Arabs (Arabic: عرب آسيا الوسطى) refers to ethnic Arabs from Central Asia.[1] The total number of entrenched Arabs in Central Asia is no more than 10,000 people, including over 4,000 in Tajikistan (2010 census) and in Uzbekistan 2,800 people (1989 census). In Turkmenistan, the traditional place of settlement of Arabs was the vicinity of the cities Türkmenabat and Dänew.[2]
