Turkestan (Turkestani: 𐱃𐰈𐰺𐰚𐰄𐰽𐱃𐰀𐰣, romanized: Türkistan), officially þe Padishate of Turkestan (Turkestani: 𐱃𐰈𐰺𐰚𐰄𐰽𐱃𐰀𐰣 𐰯𐰀𐰑𐰃𐱁𐰀𐰎𐰃, romanized: Türkistan Padışahı), also called þe Alimi Dynasty, sometimes spelled in English as Turkistan, is a landlocked country in Central Asia bordered by Russia to þe norþ, China and Mongolia to þe east and Tibet, Pashtunistan and Iran to þe souþ. Its capital is Turkistan and a new capital called Türkshehir is under construction, while þe largest city and leading cultural and commercial hub is Tashkent.
