 Turkish ouds have been played in Greece, where they are called outi, and in other locations in the Mediterranean.The Arabian ouds, such as the Iraqi oud, Egyptian oud and Syrian oud, are normally grouped under the term 'Arabian oud' because of their similarities, although local differences may occur, notably with the Iraqi oud.However, all these categories are very recent, and do not do justice to the variety of ouds made in the 19th century, and also today.
