Tajik language

Variety of Persian language

Tajik, Tajik Persian, Tajiki Persian, also called Tajiki, as well as sometimes referred to as Eastern Persian, is the variety of the Persian language spoken in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan by ethnic Tajiks. It is closely related to neighbouring Dari in Afghanistan, with which it forms a continuum of mutually intelligible varieties of Persian. Several scholars consider Tajik to be a dialectal variety of Persian rather than a language in its own right.
