List of cities in Kyrgyzstan
This is a list of cities in Kyrgyzstan .
The following sortable table contains all 25 cities in the country, their names in German transcription of the Kyrgyz name form, in Kyrgyz , in German transcription of the Russian name form and in Russian (although this is not an official language, statistical information in Kyrgyzstan is primarily published in Russian) as well as the Population figures based on the results of the censuses of January 17, 1939, January 15, 1959, January 22, 1970, January 17, 1979, January 12, 1989, March 24, 1999 and March 24, 2009. The population figures refer to the actual population City without a suburban belt.
The higher-level administrative unit (area; Kyrgyz область oblast , pl. Областтар oblasttar , derived from the identical Russian word oblast ) to which the city belongs is also listed. The capital Bishkek and the second largest city Osh have a special status ( республикалык маанидеги шаар respublikalyk maanidegi schaar , German 'republic subordinate city' ), do not belong to any area and are administratively equal to the areas. This is followed by the year of the granting of the town charter (the dates from the 19th century are the granting of the Russian town charter after the area was annexed to the Russian Empire ; some of these places were also previously referred to as "town") and different earlier place names.
In addition to the cities, there are 28 places in Kyrgyzstan that have the status of urban-type settlement . Their population is also included in the official statistics as part of the urban population; therefore these settlements are listed here in a second, similarly structured table. A larger number of villages (Kyrgyz ail , Russian selo ) have population figures comparable to cities; the largest is the bazaar orgon in the Jalalabat region with 33,359 inhabitants. Another seven villages have more than 20,000 inhabitants, another 28 - more than 10,000 (2009 census).
