Tajikistan ('''Tajik:''' ''Тоҷикистон''; '''Persian:''' تاجیکستان, ''Tâjīkestân''; '''Russian:''' ''Таджикистан, Tadzhikistan''), officially known as the Republic of Tajikistan ('''Tajik:''' ''Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон, Jumhuriyi Tojikiston'') is a Central Asian country that was a part of the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn USSR]] until 1991. While it is lumped among the Central Asian states, it is not Turkic as the others and is in fact a part of the Iranian world. It was also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. Being north of UsefulNotes/{{Afghanistan}} and with the attendant problems of [[UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} Islamist]] insurgency didn't help.

Most of the population speak a variety of Persian dubbed as Tajik. It is also spoken in UsefulNotes/{{Uzbekistan}}; Samarkand, the country's second largest city, is mostly Tajik-speaking. The naming came as a result of politics dating back to the Soviet era, as the authorities wanted to distance the Persians who lived in the Union from those who lived elsewhere. The Soviets were also the reason why Tajiks write with the Cyrillic script, instead of Arabic. Tajiki Persian have a different set of vowels compared to Iranian Persian, but they are just as innovative compared to Early New Persian (if you want conservative, look for Afghani Persian/Dari). The most obvious characteristic of Tajik is that they further mangled Early New Persian long /a:/ into the open-mid vowel /ɔ/, whereas other varieties still pronounce it as the open vowel /ɒ/. It's enough to warrant transcription into "o" instead "a", hence why it's "obi" instead of Iran and Afghanistan's "abi" (blue), "jahon" instead of "jahan" (world), and "Forsi" instead of "Farsi" (Persian). The current president's name, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Imomali/Emomali]] Rahmon, is "Emamali Rahman" in Iranian.
