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. 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 Turkish villages were in the inaccessible mountainous regions at the time of the 1901 census, that the actual number could average about 10,000.
