Qorakoʻl, also spelled Karakul, is a city in the Bukhara Region of Uzbekistan and the capital of Qorakoʻl District. Its population is 22,300 as of 2016. The name means black lake in Uzbek, from qora, black, and koʻl, lake, and the Turkic name of Lake Karakul in this area has been known since the beginning of the 8th century. The status of a city was granted in 1980, when it had previously been an urban-type settlement. The Bukhara Region takes its name from the historic Silk Road city of Bukhara. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Qorakoʻl has no coast.
