tajik is a dialect of persian but Russia called it a language so Tajikistan never joins Afghanistan or Iran. he even mistaked Tajikistan with Afghanistan during 9:18 to 9:21

love you Tajikistan from an Iranian Guy 💖 God's willing i will travel to Tajikistan very soon Ман туро дуст медорам Точикистон аз марди эрони💖 Худо хохад ба Точикистон сафар мекунам
You forgot to mention one interesting fact in the borders section. A narrow strip of Afghanistan (around 15 km) seperates Tajikistan from Pakistan. This was due to the colonial border where the UK and Russia not wanting to share a border in the 1800s decided that a narrow strip of land should be given to Afghanistan as a buffer zone to ensure they don't risk any border incidents. You could have mentioned this to again emphasize how Tajikistan is the connecting point between South, Central and East Asia :)
Great content but as an Afghan born in Iran and grown up in Afghanistan I can 100% say that Persian, Dari and Tajik are just different dialekts of the same language. Not different languages!!!!!
As an Iranian-Tajik mix I totally agree. I can understand all three dialects. Maybe 90% is fully understandable. Its more like a heavy accent or dialect
Question: Is the name people call the language actually about the dialect used or not? I know most "Tajiks" in Afghanistan speak Persian* natively,** and Wikipedia says they are the main speakers of "Dari" in Afghanistan, but do people actually distinguish between whether they speak "Dari", "Tajik", or "Farsi", or just always call it "Dari" in Afghanistan? (Or maybe it's called "Tajik" when "Tajiks" speak it and "Dari" when non-Tajiks speak it?) *I use the term "Persian" to refer to Farsi, Dari, and Tajik collectively. I think that's common, but I'm not sure. **as do some non-Tajiks, and others speak it as a second/third/fourth language
@@Mr.Nichan well in the beginning all three were called Farsi, but when UK and Russia started colonizing Persian territories (Tajikistan and Afghanistan) they wanted to break the unity between the people of Iran (aka Persia) and their countrymen who now were under russian and british rule. That's when they came up with names such as Dari and Tajiki. Tajiki literally means Farsi in the turkic languages of the region. However, over the years their accents became distinguishable and now they became dialects due to their loan words from Russina in Tajiki, English in Dari and more French in Farsi, it is obvious when someone speak Dari compared to Tajiki or Farsi. However if we start speaking formal Farsi they are 99% understandable. Thats why when the politicians meet they all speak formal Farsi. Iran though is very different cause someone can speak Farsi but others could not understand because there are a lot of different accents and dialects in the country itself. Kurdish comes from Old Persian but the languages have changed so much that we can't understand one another, we could tell you what they are talking about since they use same old persian words but we can't understand fully.
Tajikistan has a special place in the hearts of Iranians and for so long I wanted to visit the beautiful country. Hopefully, I will do it this year and no pandemic can prevent me. All love to my brothers and sisters in Tajikistan from Iran 🇮🇷🇹🇯❤️
In the past, the territory of Iran was very large, and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iraq, Bahrain, Pakistan, and eastern Turkey, and today's country of Iran together formed Greater Iran. The families of the Iranian ethnic groups are: Tajik, Pashtun, Ossetian, Kurdish, Baluch, Persian, Punjabi, Lor, Azeri, Tat, Talesh, Hazara, Talesh, Armenian, Afghan, Gilak, Zaza, etc. The Persian Empire was the first great empire in the world and the oldest country in the world is Iran ، Many people think that only Persians are Iranians, but Persians are just a group of large Iranian ethnic families ، The empires of Iran are: Elamites, Madians, Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, Al-Buwayh, Saffarids, Taherians, Samanids, Khwarezmshahis, Safavids, Afsharians, Zandids, Qajarians. Of course, the Seljuks, the Ghaznavids, the Timurids were Turks, but they considered themselves the great kings of Iran and spoke and wrote in Persian. Of course, the Qajars were also of Turkmen origin, but they also loved Iran and spoke Persian and considered themselves The kings of Iran knew .Historians consider 7 countries as ancient and native countries, which are: Iran Ancient🇮🇷 , China Ancient🇨🇳 , India Ancient 🇮🇳, Rome Ancient🇬🇷 , Egypt Ancient 🇪🇬, Ancient Mexico🇲🇽, Ancient Africa 🇿🇦. Tajikistan is part of the Iranian Empire and the Samanid rule was Iranian Tajik. 🕋🕌🦁👑🇹🇯🇮🇷🇵🇰🇦🇫👑🦁🕌🕋❤🌼
It’s always a good day when there’s a new GN episode! If you’re an American who can’t get to Tajikistan but you ever find yourself in Boulder Colorado you have to go to the Dushanbe Tea House which is a beautiful central Asian style tea house that was a gift to Boulder from Dushanbe since they’re sister cities
Travel photographer here, when asked what my favourite country to shoot was I always say Tajikistan. It's truly something else, especially the GBAO/Pamir's. Great to see you do it justice :)
I'm from Kazakhstan and yeah I def expected Uzbekistan being the best bro for Tajiks, Turco-Persian culture thrived in Central Asia both before and after Mongol invasions and only Russian colonialism managed to shatter it but even considering that, centuries of shared history and culture intertwining cannot be cut off that easily. Anyways Tajik people are amazing, hardworking, hospitable people in my eyes and I've yet to have pleasure visiting this country. Salam az Kazakistan din va madaniyat birodarlar!!
Привет.. Думаю ваши ожидание не оправдываются потому что узбеки исторически воры и до сих пор это пытаются делать начиная от культуру до кухни и обычаи повседневное... И то что говорите о тюрко-персидская культура то в этом регионе особенно в Узбекистане и Таджикистане их нет в том плане что тюркского нет она в целом таджикская... Нет там тюркской культуры... Вообще..

Thank you for the amazing video. I'm from Tajikistan and been waiting for this episode for so long and I'm so satisfied. I already shared this video to so many friends of mine who are from other parts of the world. I give this video 10/10. Absolutely love it!!!!
I've really been looking forward to this video. Central Asia seems, tragically, like one of the most overlooked regions in the world, & this channel does such a great job of introducing each country in the world. I'm looking forward to Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan.
I got to hear a US diplomat to a Central Asian country in the 90’s say how in those days they weren’t quite at the edge of the world - but that, “you could see it from there.”
Love the Central Asian countries and Tajikistan They are so untalked about but they deserve more attention because they are so cool and different from other Asian countries
With every episode, I find more and more interesting. After all the countries complete, it will be time to revise the countries like starting from A again.
lol way too much work... would be better if he did other areas e.g. disputed countries (Taiwan, Kosovo etc.) and then maybe territories like Puerto Rico, Falkland Island, French Polynesia etc.
I'm very happy that someone expanded this country for us here 'cause only arts and crafts is only our lesson here about Tajikistan.... Greetings from your Oceanic Asians .... the Philippines.... you creative mixed something something Central Asian family you Tajiks 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯 We love you from the Philippines 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍
@@samlowrider make it 2350 years, as Alexander was there 328 BCE. So the lake can this year celebrate two millenia, three centuries and a half of traditional naming.
@@ivarkich1543 Things were named after him after his death such as the "Gates of Alexander" in Derbent even though Alexander never went to Caucasia. A lot of misconceptions were made due to medieval travel literatures.
This is by far one of the coolest countries you guys have covered! Such a rich historical and cultural background, kind of like that country type you have where you advise people to go here before the tourism industry flocks in 👍🏻
The Geography Now episodes on Central Asia and Eastern Europe are always my favourite. These countries are where I want to go the most, but it's really expensive to get there from Australia, so I really appreciate learning through these.
My friend was a nurse in Tajikistan for a couple of years, so I couldn’t wait to share this with her. You guys have definitely stepped up your special effects game since the early days. Bravo!
I went to an expo on Tadjikistan and one of my friend's mother was an archeologist who worked there. The amount of wonder the climate, the rock and the culture was able to keep is insane. They are probably some of my favorite antique art of all time, I love the copper bulls and goats.
@@omervardar7635 your people are just mongolian sons. World need to make place to separate between Iranian world( Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Bukhara, Samarkand, Merv,tajik autonomous in Xinjiang) and turkic Mongolian world( Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,and some parts of Uzbekistan)
All of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, northern Afghanistan, Kashmir, Tibet, and Xinjiang) is absolutely the most beautiful region of the world! The Pamir Mountains are one of those places I would want to grow old in because they look so bloody gorgeous!
@@edwardsnowden8821 You're right, some of those I either didn't think of or I just didn't want to make the list too awfully long. Professional geography majors still debate a lot of stuff so nothing's set in stone, but I personally don't think the eastern halves of both Mongolia and Gansu are Central Asian, but are East Asian.
Another great episode Barbs. It’s interesting to me to learn more about central Asia. It’s a region that is often overlooked. I also just really appreciate learning more about the world we live in. I really enjoy it and it will only help everyone to learn more about everyone else. I always look forward to new episodes and this channel is the one I follow the most faithfully when it comes to RUclips. I’ve seen every episode and I look forward for more to come. Also they looking forward to the United States episode. Being my home country I’m very interested to see how it turns out.
@@tranzconceptual they are proud of their history which was a part Persian history like achaemenid empire they adore Cyrus the great and they still have the main Persian and iranian traditions like nowruz, ask one of them to get sure
I showed this video to my Tajik-Pakistani family and when we got to the part of elders having gold teeth at 21:39, all of us bursted into laughter as that is true for my elderly Tajik father. I had been waiting a long time for this video and so, thank you very much for the efforts of all involved. I truly appreciate it.
I love the dynamics of the recent episodes. It's incredible how big the progress is, especially when you compare that the first episodes. Fantastic achievement.
Tajikistan accidentally has a diaspora thanks to border meddling and now Tajiks live in every country that was Khoresan. Which technically isn't a diaspora Tajiks just live in their homeland. And are basically Persian and or Persianized Iranic locals like Sogdians, Bactrians, and various diverse whole variety of others of Iranic origin.
@SOS D I try to get my information from native peoples themselves, and then sometimes surrounding people but not as much because nationalistic antagonism tendencies though not always. And apply this to everyone. Then rarely do I get my information from distant unrelated people unless reliable. As a rule if you didn't get your information from a native or the border people than don't relay information unless conformation or use their books.
I am uzbek and living in Uzbekistan however I have a lot of friends who are tajik. We love them we live with them together and our national food is PLOV which is Osh we call
I actually have a few filler week topics I would like to please suggest: 1. Antarctica and Arctic (I know there isn't much, but it would be interesting to see what is there). For Antarctica, I would actually focus on the small cultural aspects of the researchers that sort of exist there, such as the case of the Antarctic "accent" that developed at one base, the 11 people born in Antarctica from Argentica and Chile, the two civilziation settlements on King George Island, and the inhabited sub-Antarctic islands as well. Similar idea of clustering whatever information there is for the Arctic region. 2. The Knights of Malta explained (for the territories, mention the extraterritorial buildings where their HQ's are in Rome, the castle on the island of Malta itself they are renting, and how the personal land propoerties of the members are also kind of natioanl territory for them as well.) 3. Gibralter, Ceuta, Melilla, Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearic Islands explained. 4. Micronations in current times (I would look at Sealand, Seborga, Mollasia, etc. and investigate the meaning of 'national identity' to a population). 5. Discuss the current development of the East African Federation as a proposed nation.
I would also consider a Bougainville Timeline. What’s happen since their Independence Refenderum, what still needs to happen before they ready to declare independence. What they maybe going to known for! Maybe a Geography Preview!
It's like if the Persian world and Russia had a baby...and then dropped the baby off at a Turkic daycare. Welcome to the heart of the silk road, the pearl of the Pamirs, #Tajikistan. And HUGE thanks to all the Tajik geograpeeps that participated in this episode! You guys are amazing!!

The A countries seriously need to be redone and the China episode glossed over way too many things
lol way too much work... would be better if he did other areas e.g. disputed countries (Taiwan, Kosovo etc.) and then maybe territories like Puerto Rico, Falkland Island, French Polynesia etc.
Love all over the world from TAJIKISTAN!👋♥️
I'm very happy that someone expanded this country for us here 'cause only arts and crafts is only our lesson here about Tajikistan....
Greetings from your Oceanic Asians .... the Philippines.... you creative mixed something something Central Asian family you Tajiks 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯 We love you from the Philippines 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍

Iskanderkul actually means Alexander's lake. That means, the name hasn't been changed for almost 2500 years.
True but 2200 years ago
@@samlowrider make it 2350 years, as Alexander was there 328 BCE. So the lake can this year celebrate two millenia, three centuries and a half of traditional naming.
What if it was named long after his death due to some sort of mythology? Not denying your claim, just throwing out a possibility.
@@timurthelamest5630 There were a cult of Alexander during his lifetime. Many things were named after him. His cult were not so strong after his life.
@@ivarkich1543 Things were named after him after his death such as the "Gates of Alexander" in Derbent even though Alexander never went to Caucasia. A lot of misconceptions were made due to medieval travel literatures.
I had the joy of visiting Tajikistan and driving along the Pamir. This video really brings me back. What a gorgeous country
😍🇹🇯🌹
I always love it when you cover these unknown ass countries. Always fun to learn something new
Это ты не известный
Не надо смотреть видео надо по реальному прилететь и посмотреть это страна по-настоящему чудесная
This is by far one of the coolest countries you guys have covered! Such a rich historical and cultural background, kind of like that country type you have where you advise people to go here before the tourism industry flocks in 👍🏻
Thank you for such good video. Come to Tajikistan we will be glad to host you ✌️😊🇹🇯
Hafez was from shiraz which is in Iran. But, still Persian🔥🇮🇷🇹🇯🇦🇫
I'm glad to learn some new informations about Tajikistan. I saw we have similar cuisine. Love from Turkey❣
Love the involvement of Pateron supporters!! Such a good use of engagement.
Man I remember watching you in Middle school. Brings back memories
Same lol been watching since like 2015 when I was 11 I’m now nearly 18

The Geography Now episodes on Central Asia and Eastern Europe are always my favourite. These countries are where I want to go the most, but it's really expensive to get there from Australia, so I really appreciate learning through these.
My friend was a nurse in Tajikistan for a couple of years, so I couldn’t wait to share this with her. You guys have definitely stepped up your special effects game since the early days. Bravo!
I went to an expo on Tadjikistan and one of my friend's mother was an archeologist who worked there. The amount of wonder the climate, the rock and the culture was able to keep is insane. They are probably some of my favorite antique art of all time, I love the copper bulls and goats.
Hi, I am from Tajikistan. Uou made a great job on this video. Thanx. Respect to all nationalities in the world.
TOJIKISTON BA PESH !!!
Tajik ba pesh
I'm surrounded by Tajiks and Uzbeks where I live. It's so interesting how they like each other, and even speak the other's language.
turkic languages are basically the same
@@omervardar7635 but Tajik is not Turkic at all, it's Indo-European, of the Iranian group (same with Persian, Kurdish, Baluji, Pashto and Ossetic).
@@omervardar7635 your people are just mongolian sons. World need to make place to separate between Iranian world( Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Bukhara, Samarkand, Merv,tajik autonomous in Xinjiang) and turkic Mongolian world( Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,and some parts of Uzbekistan)

All of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, northern Afghanistan, Kashmir, Tibet, and Xinjiang) is absolutely the most beautiful region of the world! The Pamir Mountains are one of those places I would want to grow old in because they look so bloody gorgeous!
What's left? Praise the whole world too
You missed some of central Asia, Mongolia, Qinghai, Gansu, Southern RUSSIA, northern Iran etc
who said to you that tibet is in central asia
Kashmir ? Central Asia ? WTF ?
@@edwardsnowden8821 You're right, some of those I either didn't think of or I just didn't want to make the list too awfully long. Professional geography majors still debate a lot of stuff so nothing's set in stone, but I personally don't think the eastern halves of both Mongolia and Gansu are Central Asian, but are East Asian.
Geography had never been such fun before . Love you guys and your content keep going !
Another great episode Barbs. It’s interesting to me to learn more about central Asia. It’s a region that is often overlooked. I also just really appreciate learning more about the world we live in. I really enjoy it and it will only help everyone to learn more about everyone else. I always look forward to new episodes and this channel is the one I follow the most faithfully when it comes to RUclips. I’ve seen every episode and I look forward for more to come. Also they looking forward to the United States episode. Being my home country I’m very interested to see how it turns out.
Woud love to have some discussions with you. I am from Tajikistan
Thank you for such an informative video about our country Tajikistan! It means a lot!
Been waiting for so long!!!!
Thank you! 👏🏻
Well, you can say the food section for the Uzbekistan episode is pretty much done) And yeah, can't wait for the Uzbekistan episode!
I appreciate you guys so much to not ignore the real problems of a country, love you guys, i buy i shirt 😁
I've gotta say I love the visualization of the geography at the beginning of your videos. It is very well presented and flows very naturally.
Much love to our Persian brothers and sisters in Central Asia (Tajiks) from Persia (Iran).🇮🇷♥🇹🇯
Tajiks are Bactrian Iranians and they speak Persian.
I wonder if they feel the same about it.
@@tranzconceptual they are proud of their history which was a part Persian history like achaemenid empire they adore Cyrus the great and they still have the main Persian and iranian traditions like nowruz, ask one of them to get sure
🇹🇯🇹🇯❤️❤️❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷 спасибо сестра моя 🙏
@@tranzconceptual конечно чувствуем иран это наш брат 🇹🇯🇹🇯❤️❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷☝️
@@maxpayne3628 I will ask my Tajik colleague on Monday, he came to study & work
Long live the Tajik people! Love from el salvador 🇸🇻
Gosh. Thanks mate. Love and hugs from Tajikistan to El Salvador 🇹🇯❤️🇸🇻
I showed this video to my Tajik-Pakistani family and when we got to the part of elders having gold teeth at 21:39, all of us bursted into laughter as that is true for my elderly Tajik father. I had been waiting a long time for this video and so, thank you very much for the efforts of all involved. I truly appreciate it.
I love Tajikistan 🇹🇯 From Poland 🇵🇱❤️😍

Why do you want Silesia Indépendance ?

I really need to watch a new Geography Now vid. The crewmembers, y'all absolute legends. I really love your vids and keep up the good work. 👍
I love the dynamics of the recent episodes. It's incredible how big the progress is, especially when you compare that the first episodes. Fantastic achievement.
I'm from Afghanistan but my ancestors are from modern day Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, sending my love to Tajikistan 🇦🇫🇺🇿❤️🇹🇯

Thanks to your channel, I am able to know more nations and lands in the world. Love from Viet Nam
Love Tajikistan from iran 🇮🇷 ❤ 🇹🇯
You know most Tajiks don't like Iran, Iranian government and Iranian people (mostly)
@@Lyallpuriya false
@@GEIR_Secular Majority of Tajiks dislike Iran because Iran is a Shia theocracy while Tajikistan is a Sunni-majority Secular state.
This is one of the hardest county to explain, you have done an amazing job explaining, particularly the demography and culture.
Love your videos barbs. Keep going💞❤️

Love Tajikistan so much from Saudi Arabia
Wow Jakhon was so great, he had a lot of GeographyNow vibes, same pace and way to present things! I would love to see him appearing on more videos.
My tajik brother and sisters lots of love for you from iran❤i listen to some of your melodies and it's soo amazing
❤❤❤❤🇹🇯🇮🇷
Tajikistan accidentally has a diaspora thanks to border meddling and now Tajiks live in every country that was Khoresan. Which technically isn't a diaspora Tajiks just live in their homeland. And are basically Persian and or Persianized Iranic locals like Sogdians, Bactrians, and various diverse whole variety of others of Iranic origin.
@ابوالفضل مازنی I study Easterling cultures. From Iraq to Pakistan and every land in between.
@SOS D I try to get my information from native peoples themselves, and then sometimes surrounding people but not as much because nationalistic antagonism tendencies though not always. And apply this to everyone. Then rarely do I get my information from distant unrelated people unless reliable.
As a rule if you didn't get your information from a native or the border people than don't relay information unless conformation or use their books.
Thank you!
I am a Tajik from Tajikistan and I don't like word "Persian". We are TAJIKs, not Persianized people. We are different.
@@user-tq8xh5sr1k We are part of the Persian culture. I am also Tajik from Tajikistan.
Love Tajikistan from Iran❤
Thanks for being such beautiful people with such beautiful hearts
🧡
I am uzbek and living in Uzbekistan however I have a lot of friends who are tajik. We love them we live with them together and our national food is PLOV which is Osh we call
i am tajik from uzbekistan and uzbek is our brothers
I think you made a little mistake at 9:18, you said Afghanistan when you probably meant Tajikistan.
Ya, he did, but that's alright, he is our boy Barbs afterall, let's forgive him! 😋😎
Love Tajik Peoples and Tajikistan
Greetings from an Iraqi Kurd in Germany
A lot of common things between India and Tajikistan! Love 💗 from India

I actually have a few filler week topics I would like to please suggest:
1. Antarctica and Arctic (I know there isn't much, but it would be interesting to see what is there). For Antarctica, I would actually focus on the small cultural aspects of the researchers that sort of exist there, such as the case of the Antarctic "accent" that developed at one base, the 11 people born in Antarctica from Argentica and Chile, the two civilziation settlements on King George Island, and the inhabited sub-Antarctic islands as well. Similar idea of clustering whatever information there is for the Arctic region.
2. The Knights of Malta explained (for the territories, mention the extraterritorial buildings where their HQ's are in Rome, the castle on the island of Malta itself they are renting, and how the personal land propoerties of the members are also kind of natioanl territory for them as well.)
3. Gibralter, Ceuta, Melilla, Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearic Islands explained.
4. Micronations in current times (I would look at Sealand, Seborga, Mollasia, etc. and investigate the meaning of 'national identity' to a population).
5. Discuss the current development of the East African Federation as a proposed nation.
I would also consider a Bougainville Timeline. What’s happen since their Independence Refenderum, what still needs to happen before they ready to declare independence. What they maybe going to known for! Maybe a Geography Preview!
