[edit] Cities of more than 10,000 people, listed by population

The following table includes all cities larger than 10,000 people, with their names in English, and the corresponding names in Cyrillic and Arabic script. Because of transliteration difficulties, some are known by more than one spelling. The population is from the censuses of January 12, 1989, and January 20, 2000, as well as an estimate for January 1, 2006. In addition, the administative division in which the city lies is named, usually a province, or an autonomous province in the case of Kohistan-Badakhshan Autonomous Province. There is also the capital district, and the Region of Republican Subordination (here abbreviated RRS), which do not belong to a province, and are directly under the central government. Finally, the district in which the city lies is given. The population figures are for the city proper, and do not include adjacent communities.
