Love Tajikistan and all Iranic people from Romania!
there are no nation as "Iranian or iranic". Iran is the name of their country. In iran live mostly persians, turks and kurds. You can not be an iranian if you do not live there. In Tajikistan they are mostly persians not "Iranians".
@@shamkhalrzayev5484 this is the terminology used in the scholar texts and in the video as well. *Don't complain to me!* If you have any objections, tell that to the video creators and the authors of the corresponding online articles.
@@shamkhalrzayev5484 You can be an Iranic too, even if you do not live in Iran. Yes, in Tajikistan they mostly are Persians, but, of course, they also are Iranics, because the Persians can not be non-Iranics; the Persians and their branches by themselves are IRANICS, no matters where they live, in Iran or outside it. You shouldn't live in Iran to be an IRANIC!
@@shamkhalrzayev5484 Firstly, he/she said ''Iranic people'', not ''Iranian or Iranic nation" as you said. Secondly, Scyth, Sarmat, Alan, Ossetin=Ossetian, Sogdian, Bactrian, Tat, Talish, Curd, Persian (incl. Tajik), Pamirian, etc., all are IRANIC (peoples/tribes, languages/dialects, etc.), i.e. deriving from ARIAN(s), not from ERAN/IRAN [country]. Lastly, I will try to show you briefly and, hopefully, simply the origin of the word ''Iranic/Iranian'', to understand that its use and form is ''perfectly'' correct one. Old Persian: Ariya, Parthian: Ary → Middle Persian: Ēr (meaning “Aryan/Arian=Iranic”). The Genitive plural form [by attaching to the radical=stem the Genitive plural suffix -ān] of all this languages or different stages of the same language will respectively result in: Old Persian: Ariyān, Parthian: Aryān → Middle Persian: Ērān (meaning “of Aryans/of Arians=of Iranics”) → Modern Persian: Ērān/Īrān (meaning “[the country of] Eran/Iran”). Most (if not all) Europeans when speaking in their languages, uses the word ''Iranic'' with its earlier, original semantics (meaning ''of Aryans/of Arians=of Iranics''), not from the name of the country called Eran/Iran, which is a word with a later, shifted semantics, substantivized, singularized meaning, being in turn the abbreviated form of the original Ērān-šahr (the self-denomination of the Sassanian [dynasty] state), meaning “Kingdom of Aryans/of Arians=of Iranics".

As an Iranian, I travelled to Samarkand and Bukhara and noticed how people spoke Persian (with Tajik accent) in their daily lives and all the historical monuments had Persian written on them and even on the streets they were selling people's memoires from the pre-soivet times written in Persian in Persian alphabets. Amazing. Certainly beautiful people and culture. Love both Tajik and Uzbek people.

@@Mindful0093 No, Tajik is Dari. The Tajik language was called Dari language until Soviets came. Pashto language is variation of Iranian language. Also don't confuse Iranian with Persian.

That may be another region or tribe of people but not different countries! I hope you get the point! Sorry for my not-so-good English! In addition, I should say in old languages, the root of the word country resembles different cities rather than different nation-states! like in the name of cities like Samar"qand", Tash"qand", Kho"jand", Bir"jand" and many more! my statement may have problems as English is not my main language as you would know!

I watched all of your videos related to Tajikistan and I gotta say, I really appreciate that you go in depth about the history, culture, languages and other important topics such as weddings. A lot of "travel vloggers" here mainly show their faces throughout their videos while they visit a country and then the viewers don't know the details later on. I admire your approach to your videos and I hope your channel will continue to grow for the best. I gained a lot of knowledge about Tajikistan from your videos, therefore I am excited to visit this amazing country in the future! Thanks so much, Alex!
Khurasan and Iran are the same country 💚🤍🖤🇮🇷 🇹🇯
But what is the difference between the names??
@@waddahabdo7273 Khurasan was a part of Greater Iran. Now you know. Hope you won’t ask stupid questions again 🙏
@@waddahabdo7273Khurasan means "sunrise place". That's the name Iranic people gave to the eastern region of Iran. In addition, after conquest of Islam and devastation of Iranian culture and language in major cities in central Iran, Khurasan was the last place that Iranian culture and Persian language was preserved. The reason that modern day Iranians speak Persian (Farsi) is because of the elite that reinstated Farsi language and Iranian culture were from Khurasan.
@@waddahabdo7273 Today only one country retained the name of Iran. But historical Iran included many countries. And some of them were more Persian than today's Iran.
@@noorkhilji3283 lol Witch of them have more persian than Iran😂😅
I am Uzbek. Despite not being the same ethnic group, tajiks and uzbeks are very close. So many uzbek people can speak tajik and the other way around as well.
No we're not Uzbeks are close to turk people (kazakh,hazara,turkmen) And tajiks are close to iranic people (Kurds,iranians,balochs)
This is the best video on the history of the Tajiks so far. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to explain to the larger world what Tajik is. I have learned a lot. I have subscribed to your channel as a result.
Not just Iranians, Persians too.
Love for tajiks and Tajikistan from Kazakhstan❤
Nice work, Alex! Looking forward to watching the rest of the series :)
Amazing work done. I highly admire your efforts. You explained very well too. In fact I don't have enough words to appreciate it. Respect from Virginia, USA.
Dari, Farsi, Tajik, the same language, just given different names. In 2019 I was visiting Moscow (I live in Sydney, Australia). I met a man who tried speaking turkish to me. Then we found out that he is Tajik and I am Persian (Lor in origin). We started speaking Persian. I asked him how he found life in Moscow. He said he is happy, mostly because he was able to bring his parents to live with him. We got on so well, it was like we had known each other for 6000 years.
Aren't they different dialects of Farsi? What about Kurdish and Pashtun? They are also Iranic languages, can you understand their language as well?
@@Geckotr Hi my friend. No they are not dialects. The accent is different and some vocabulary. Like UK English, American English and Australian English. The accents are different, the slang words differ but they are all English and a British, an American and an Australian can sit around a table and comfortably carry on a conversation. Same with Dari, Farsi and Tajik. I have kurdish friends and we go out to lunch together. When they speak Kurdish I only pick up a few words. And I certainly cannot reply anything. I don't know about Pashtun at all. I think I have heard Pashtun on TV and did not sound familiar at all. But have not heard it much.
@@KamramBehzad the standard tajik is close to Persian, however in most regions people speak in their own dialect which is not only different in vocabulary, but also partly in grammar, phonology etc.
Lurs, bakhtiaris, basseris, sistani Persians, Tats, Achomis, Mazandaranis, Gilaks are more Persian than even standard speaking Persians. Love Lur Persians ❤️
@@Geckotrno they are like Sorani and Kurmaji Kurdi. Or American and British English.
Thank you for this interesting and elaborate video. I'm looking forward to watch the other videos and know more about Tajik culture.
This is a great documentary. Very informative, easy to comprehend and entertaining, all at the same time. Very helpful for me as a teacher. Thanks for making it.
This was really detailed and insightful video. You did a really good job summarizing thousands of years of history and putting it in the context of today’s world.
Thank you for capturing the complexity of this! After spending time in TJ, in UZ, and along with my family's own Iranian background we came to many of these understandings and conclusions ourselves in an experiential way : )
Thanks for breaking down the complicated historical dynamics - it is really fascinating.
We are Tajik from Afghanistan/Khurasan but we are proudly Persian not Afghan
Tajik is an ethnicity and Afghan a nationality. Tajikistani is term coined by USSR why you accept that?
@@mrjaja7303we didn’t accept that and we will never going to accept Afghan or Uzbek or Turk we are Persian Iranian not Afghan or Uzbek. It’s just cause the term Persian or Tajik used to scared the shit out of Soviet they intentionally made us to accept the fucking term afghan or Uzbek and has given our land to the oppressor like Uzbek and afghan but hey telling you what we are going be back and make our Persian brothers in fake Afghanistan and Uzbekistan free inshallah

The two most important Tajic and Iranic cities is located in Uzbekistan nowadays. Soviet union seperated these two Persian language cities from Tajikistan because of their powerful position in Iranic culture and to make Persian power in the region weak. These two cities are Samarkand and Bukhara those are so famous from central Asia to all regions in Iran and even people from nowadays Iran have introduced these cities in their poems several times. Both these cities are majority of Persian speakers while Uzbekistan government have restricted them to learn Persian and use Persian in formal works and they are assimilating in their homeland. The Uzbekistan government even say anything about the true statistics about the number of Tajik people in Uzbekistan and say their number less than 10% while Samarkand and Bukhara are two of most populated cities and no one there are nomads unlike Turkic Uzbeks.
Tajiks are descendants of Sogdians & Bactrians, which are Eastern Iranian peoples, and they have no related with Turks, Arabs or Mongols. We are Persians and associated with the Iranian/iranic peoples and our previous religion was Zoroastrianism.
Tajikistan looks amazing. I would love to visit there one day.
Wow Alex very comprehensive video and mentioned those facts that a lot of people dont know to date, Salute You!
I’m Tajik from Afghanistan
Thank you for your very insightful video. The fact that the Soviets fucked up the region is devastating. Tajiks were ostracized, and their land was divided arbitrarily and haphazardly. The Tajik language was the primary language of academia and intelligentsia, particularly in Bukhara and Samarqand. Every time I visit these regions, the majority of people prefer to speak in Tajik and feel more connected with us Tajiks; it totally feels like home.
