Tajik language

Tajik is a variety of the Persian language spoken primarily in Tajikistan and surrounding regions. Written in the Cyrillic script, it shares many vocabulary and grammatical features with Persian, but has been influenced by Russian due to historical connections. Tajik serves as both a national language and a marker of cultural identity, featuring unique phonetic and lexical elements. It functions as a vital means of communication, education, and media within Tajikistan, and its preservation is important for maintaining the region's linguistic heritage.
