There is an artefact tartan called Bhutan, and one called Kazakhstan.
From what is now called South Asia you have the Baluch Regiment tartan, one called Rajput, one for the Gurkha Rifles and one for Sri Lanka.
In addition there is a tartan registered by a Sikh long resident in Scotland for the use of all Sikhs, and if memory serves a few others for Scots of Indian or Arabian origin.
Counting Arabia as a whole, I have collected nine tartans (in jpg format) from that region.
How many of those does Zaczek list?

Mike
The pipers of the 3rd Battalion of India's Sikh Regiment wear the Rattray tartan, in honour of Thomas Rattray, the organizer of Rattray's Sikh Regiment.

Their are two Sikh tartans; one is the Singh tartan, designed by Lord Singh, a Sikh living near Glasgow who is great admirer of Burns; he had his works translated into Punjabi.
