The '''Orient''' is a term that traditionally referred to the [[Middle-East]], [[South Asia]], and [[East Asia]], or more specifically most regions east of [[Europe]] but west of [[Australia]].  Today the term generally only refers to that part of the world where both Dharmic religions are dominant and most natives of the region have an [[epicanthic fold]]. This would include [[India]], [[Burma]], [[Cambodia]], [[China]], [[Japan]], parts of [[Indonesia]], [[Korea]], [[Manchuria]], [[Mongolia]], the [[Philippines]], [[Thailand]], [[Taiwan]], [[Tibet]] and [[Vietnam]].

"Oriental" has been used by [[Western world|the West]] as a term to describe cultures, countries, peoples and goods from the Orient.  Some usages of Oriental are still common, for example, [[Mizrahi]] [[Jew]]s (native to the Middle East) are often referred to as Oriental Jews and it is common in older universities: the [[University of London]]'s [[School of Oriental and African Studies]], the [[University of Chicago]]'s Oriental Institute and the Universities of [[Oxford University|Oxford]] and [[Cambridge University|Cambridge]] both have a Faculty of Oriental Studies that focuses on the Middle East, East Asia and South Asia.  The [[American Oriental Society]] remains the premier body for the study of Oriental societies.
