There are various attempts to match Asian scales to Western (we had an Indian folk song thread that dabbled in this), pivoting around pentatonic scales (we are not talking exact equivalents here). There is something called the Veryan Weston system which goes as follows:

start on D with a pentatonic scale (let's call it D minor for convenience sake): D-F-G-A-C-D. If you sharpen the F and C, you have something like the SouthEast Asian Pelog scale; if you then additionally sharpen the G, you approach the Japanese Hirajoshi scale. If you then also sharpen the D, you have something like the Japanese Kumoi scale.
