Tajik, Tajik Persian, or Tajiki, is a modern variety of the Persian language spoken in Central Asia. Most speakers of Tajik live in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Tajik is the official language of Tajikistan. The language has diverged from Persian as spoken in Afghanistan and Iran, as a result of political borders, geographical isolation, the standardisation process, and the influence of Russian and neighbouring Turkic languages.

  • Tajik, Tajik Persian, or Tajiki, is a modern variety of the Persian language spoken in Central Asia. Most speakers of Tajik live in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Tajik is the official language of Tajikistan. The language has diverged from Persian as spoken in Afghanistan and Iran, as a result of political borders, geographical isolation, the standardisation process, and the influence of Russian and neighbouring Turkic languages. The standard language is based on the north-western dialects of Tajik (region of old major city of Samarkand), which have been somewhat influenced by the neighbouring Uzbek language as a result of geographical proximity. Tajik also retains numerous archaic elements in its vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar that have been lost elsewhere in the Persophone world, in part due to its relative isolation in the mountains of Central Asia.
  • Die tadschikische Sprache ist eine in Zentralasien gesprochene moderne Varietät des Persischen. Tadschikisch hat sich aufgrund politischer Grenzen sowie durch den Einfluss des Russischen und der benachbarten Turksprachen von den in Iran und Afghanistan gesprochenen persischen Dialekten abgespalten.
