　　南亚是亚洲的一个亚区，面積達4,480,000平方公里。在这个区域内的国家包括了印度、巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、斯里兰卡、尼泊尔、不丹和马尔代夫。有时候阿富汗也被算成是一个南亚国家，而阿富汗北部则属中亚地区。
　　
　　南亚包括了印度次大陆，这块次大陆包含了世界五分之一的人口，同时也是继非洲撒哈拉地区后全球最贫穷的地区之一。


　　South Asia, also known as Southern Asia, is the southern region of the Asian continent, which comprises the sub-Himalayan countries and, for some authorities (see below), also includes the adjoining countries on the west and the east. Topographically, it is dominated by the Indian Plate, which rises above sea level as the Indian subcontinent south of the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush.
　　
　　South Asia is surrounded (clockwise, from west to east) by Western Asia, Central Asia, Eastern Asia, Southeastern Asia and the Indian ocean.
　　
　　South Asia typically consists of Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Republic of India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Some definitions may also include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Tibet, the British Indian Ocean Territories and Iran.
　　
　　South Asia is home to well over one fifth of the world's population, making it both the most populous and most densely populated geographical region in the world. The region has often seen conflicts and political instability, including wars between the region's two nuclear-armed states, Pakistan and India. South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation is an economic cooperation organization in the region.
