Summary: | Approximately 4.3 million Tajiks live in Tajikistan. Tajiks also live in several other countries in Central Asia, primarily in rural areas. Commercialized growing of cotton is the dominant agricultural activity. Tajiks are Sunni Muslims. They speak a dialect of Farsi that is mutually intelligible with Persian of Iran and Dari of Afghanistan. This file contains one document by Eden Naby, originally published in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures Supplement, 2002. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion. |
