According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term subcontinent signifies a "subdivision of a continent which has a distinct geographical, political, or cultural identity" and also a "large land mass somewhat smaller than a continent".
A large and distinct section of a continent can be called a subcontinent. Many subcontinents are separated from the rest of a continent by geographical features. One of the most well-known subcontinents is the Indian subcontinent, which was once the country of India, but today includes Pakistan and Bangladesh.
A subcontinent is part of a larger continent, made up of a number of countries that form a large mass of land. The countries forming the Indian Subcontinent are Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan.
