Distribution of Tajik worldwide

Tajik language is a member of the Iranian group of Indo-European languages, often considered a variant of Persian. Currently, approximately 4,500,000 people speak this language in Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, where it holds official status.

There are four dialects of Tajik: Northern, Central, Southern, and Southeastern. Additionally, Bukhori is considered a Tajik dialect. The basis of the state language is formed by the northwestern dialects, influenced by the Uzbek language.

History of the Tajik language

The Tajik language evolved from Persian with significant influence from neighboring Turkic languages, particularly Uzbek. However, it has preserved many archaic grammatical and lexical forms that have disappeared from modern Persian.

Descendants of Tajiks settled in Central Asia around 2000 BC and developed their communities in these lands. Despite being a distinct community, there was a theory that Tajiks, referred to as «Tajiks», were actually Persians. The term for residents of Tajikistan literally translates to «non-Turk» and refers to Persian-speaking peoples residing in Asia. This theory also suggests that the Tajik language is essentially Persian. What’s most intriguing is that Tajiks themselves hold this view.

Where did this belief originate? Persian emerged in Central Asia in the 8th century and spread across its territories over centuries, influenced over time by Turkic languages. Russia’s significant and prolonged presence, starting with its invasion of Tajikistan in the 19th century, also played a crucial role. At that time, the language used there was Farsi, which is Persian. Isolation and the influence of the Russian language have led to Tajik language today being distinct from Persian, although many Tajiks would prefer it to remain closer to its origins.

Not only the origin itself, but also defining the features of the Tajik language, turned out to be problematic. Even such a basic question as the alphabet sparked disputes. Turkish roots were associated with the presence of the Arabic alphabet, which was replaced by Cyrillic during Russian occupation. Although a project to return to Persian roots was planned after the war, Cyrillic is still used in writing and translating Tajik language.

Despite its tumultuous history, today Tajikistan boasts a rich literature and developed press—with approximately 80 newspapers, 66 of which are published in Tajik. A significant constraint on the development of both the Tajik community and the language itself remains the control exerted by Gosteleradio on television.

The Tajik language is one of the least known languages in Europe. Considering its history, current status in Tajikistan, and the attitude towards the language among Tajiks themselves, there are few prospects for its wider dissemination. However, both Tajik translators and linguists agree that its fascinating roots deserve attention.
