Kyrgyzstan |
Kyrgyzstan, officially the Kyrgyz Republic, is a country
in Central Asia. Landlocked and mountainous, it is bordered by
Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the
southwest and China to the east. The ethnonym "Kyrgyz", after which the
country is named, is thought to originally mean either "forty girls" or
"forty tribes", presumably referring to the epic hero Manas who, as
legend has it, unified forty tribes against the Khitans.
The 40-ray sun on the flag of Kyrgyzstan symbolizes the forty
tribes of Manas.
