Tajik

Tajik

Tajik may refer to:

* Tajiks, an ethnic group living in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and western China.
* Tajik Assata Anwar Bahoul, the birth name of Black nationalist activist Taj Anwar.
* Tajik language, the official language of Tajikistan; Persian written in Cyrillic.
* The Sarikoli language, spoken by Tajiks in China and officially referred to as the "Tajik language" in China.
* The Arabic-schooled, ethnically Persian administrative caste of the Turco-Persian society.

note: To distinguish between the nationality and the ethnicity, some sources (such as [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ti.html CIA factbook] ) use the adjective "Tajikistani" for the citizens of Tajikistan".

"Tajik" is occasionally written as "Tadzhik" or "Tadjik", a transcription of the Russian spelling.
