西亚
West Asia, or Southwest Asia, refers to the southwest of Asia, and the Middle East has a large part of the coincidence. However, the Middle East is a clear area, including the African countries, Egypt, and West Asia is a purely geographical terms, said the southwest of Asia, the population of about 330 million people. Latitude and longitude positioning for the east longitude 74 degrees 56 points to 26 degrees 16 minutes east longitude; latitude 43 degrees 34 minutes to 12 degrees north latitude 35 minutes. West Asia is roughly equivalent to the so-called "Middle East" and "Near East", both of which are spoken by distance from Europe, rather than according to the location of the place in Asia.

In cultural and political geography, the Middle East sometimes includes North and South West countries, especially Afghanistan, Pakistan and Egypt. ... 西亞，或稱西南亞，指亞洲的西南部，和中東有很大部份的重合。不過，中東是一定義不清的區域，包含非洲國家埃及，而西亞則是純粹的地理學名詞，表示亞洲的西南端，人口約3.3億人。 经纬度定位为东经74度56分到东经26度16分；北纬43度34分到北纬12度35分。 西亞大致相當於傳統所謂的「中東」和「近東」，後兩者都是以距歐洲的遠近來稱呼，而不是依地帶在亞洲的所在來稱呼。在國際組織（特別是聯合國）和印度、澳洲等比中東位置更東的國家，較偏好使用「西亞」這一名詞，因為「中東」這個傳統的名詞會讓人有歐洲中心主義的感覺。在文化和政治地理學裡，中東有時也包括北非和南亞西部的國家，特別是阿富汗、巴基斯坦和埃及。...
