Turks in Pakistan (Turkish: Pakistan'daki Türkler) are ethnic Turkish people living in Pakistan. These terms are also used to refer to Pakistani-born individuals who are of full or partial Turkish ancestry or ethnically Turkic Pakistanis. Turkish educators in Pakistan are involved with the PakTurk International Schools and Colleges, which has 25 branches in the country.[2][3] As of 2016, there were over 100 Turkish educators teaching at these schools, and including their families has a population of 400 Turks.[4][5][6]
It is more probable, given that most ethnically Turkic villages were in the inaccessible mountainous regions at the time of the 1901 census, that the actual number could average about 10,000.
