👉 Tajik is a language spoken in Tajikistan, an autonomous republic of Afghanistan. It is closely related to Uzbek and Kyrgyz languages. The script used for writing Tajik is called "Qanun". The name "tajiki" comes from the word "tajik", which means "red" or "redstone", possibly referring to the use of red ink in Tajik printing or perhaps a color code for certain types of documents.
