8. Afghanistan (Kabul) *usually considered SW Asia

9. Myanmar / Burma [Yangon(Rangoon) but also Naypyidaw] *usually considered SE Asia

Answer 2

The current territories of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka form South Asia.

Answer 3

There is more than one definition describing South or Southern Asia. According to the United Nations, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burma, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are the only South Asian countries. However, the Maldives, Tibet, and the British Indian ocean Territory (while not all countries) are widely considered to be a part of the South Asian region.

The word "sub-continent" does alter things, though. The United States Department of State has had a definition of the Indian (or South Asian) subcontinent since the year 1959. They identify the subcontinent as including the nations of Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka only. This also seems culturally accurate, as Bangladesh and Burma could be included in Southeast Asia, while Iran would be accepted as part of the Middle East.
