*'''[[Turkmenistan]]''', where some 85% of the population of 5,042,920 people (July 2006 est.), are ethnic Turkmen. In addition, an estimated 1,200 Turkmen [[Afghan refugees|refugees]] from northern Afghanistan currently reside in Turkmenistan due to the ravages of the [[Soviet war in Afghanistan]] and factional fighting in Afghanistan which saw the rise and fall of the [[Taliban]].<ref>[http://www.newscentralasia.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=952 UNHCR Begins Compiling Database of Refugees in Turkmenistan]</ref>

*'''[[Afghanistan]]''', where, as of 2006, 900,000 are ethnic Turkmen and are largely concentrated primarily along the Turkmen-Afghan border in the provinces of [[Faryab Province|Faryab]], [[Jowzjan Province|Jowzjan]], and [[Baghlan Province|Baghlan]]. There are smaller communities in [[Balkh Province|Balkh]] and [[Kunduz Province]]s.

*'''[[Iran]]''', where about 2 ,000,000 Turkmen are primarily concentrated in the [[Provinces of Iran|provinces]] of [[Golestān Province|Golestān]] and [[North Khorasan Province|North Khorasan]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

*'''[[China]]''', where aroundmore than 100,000 [[Salar people|Salar]] Turkmens live in [[Qinghai]], [[Gansu]], and [[Xinjiang]], particularly concentrated in [[Xunhua Salar Autonomous County]]. The [[People's Republic of China|PRC]] government considers them as distinct from their Turkmen kin and classifies them among [[List of Chinese ethnic groups#Officially recognised ethnic groups in mainland China|56 officially recognised ethnic groups]].

{{Main|Turkmen in Pakistan}}

*'''[[Pakistan]]''', Aswhere as of 2005, as per the official Pakistani census and UN estimates, there remain approximately 60,000 Turkmen refugees in [[Pakistan]], largely in the [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|North-West Frontier Province]], [[Balochistan (Pakistan)|Balochistan]] and in the country's urban centres of [[Lahore]], [[Islamabad]] and [[Karachi]]. The actual numbers could be up to 250,000 as many have avoided being counted for fear of being deported and have intermixed into Pakistan's cosmopolitan social dynamic. A few hundred Turkmen and Kyrgyz refugee families living in Pakistan were given asylum in Turkey in the 1980s. Apart from these, [[Karlugh Turks]] also reside in Pakistan who came with Timur in 1472 AD and formed a Turki Shahi dynasty that ruled the state of Hazara (NWFP) as Pakhli Sarkar for more than 200 years (1472–1703); currently these Karlugh Turks reside mainly in three districts of Hazara, Mansehra (Jabori, Pakhli), Abbottabad (Banda Phagwarian), Haripur (Mankeria, Pharhari, Nartopa). These Karlugh Turks are mingled with locals and are Pakistani nationals, however they maintained their identity as Turk Rajputs. Raja Amanullah Khan Turk (deceased) of Haripur Mankerai was speaker of the NWFP assembly from March 1985 to 1988.

*'''[[Turkey]]''', where most Turkmens have integrated into sedentary life over the centuries through [[Seljuk]] and [[Ottoman]] periods. A considerable nomadic Turkmen group called [[Yörük]] still maintain their lifestyle in [[Anatolia]] and parts of the [[Balkans]].
