Tajik Linguistics by Shinji Ido,Behrooz Mahmoodi-Bakhtiari Pdf

It is hardly an overstatement to say that Soviet linguists had a monopoly over Tajik linguistics before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when most studies on the language were accessible exclusively through Russian and Tajik. Today, however, linguists dealing with Tajik are diverse not only in terms of their location but also in terms of their disciplinary orientation within linguistics, making it difficult for the general linguist to work out the state of the art of the linguistic study of Tajik. This volume aims to address this difficulty by collecting in a handbook format recent (post-Soviet) developments in the study of Tajik that now lie scattered in different subdisciplines of linguistics. The volume thus showcases the state of the art of post-Soviet Tajik linguistics and can be used as a guide for linguists interested in the language.

Tajikistan’s National Epics by Sadriddin Ayni Pdf

Sadriddin Ayni (1878–1954) was a Tajik intellectual, regarded by many as one of the most important writers in the country’s history. This book provides a translation of two historical monographs by Ayni: Is’yoni Muqanna (Muqanna’s Rebellion) and Qahramoni Khalqi Tojik Temurmalik (The Tajik People’s Hero Temur Malik). These works tell the story of two great Tajik heroes who fought against the Arabs and the Mongols. Besides the translations, the book discusses Ayni’s life and work, highlighting his role, especially through these two monographs, in awakening and strengthening Tajik national consciousness. In addition, the book provides detailed background information on the historical events portrayed in the epics.

Introduction to Tajikistan by Gilad James, PhD Pdf

Tajikistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia, bordered by Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east. The country is noted for its natural beauty and diverse landscapes, including rugged mountains, vast deserts, and lush valleys. Its population of approximately 9 million people is made up of ethnic Tajiks, as well as minority groups such as Uzbeks, Russians, and Kyrgyz. Tajikistan gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, and since then, the country has undergone significant political and economic changes. In recent years, the government has focused on boosting the country's economy, particularly by investing in infrastructure development, such as the construction of a new airport and improved road networks. While Tajikistan's economy still faces challenges, such as high unemployment and poverty rates, the country is making strides towards a brighter future.

In this comprehensive and up to date history, from prehistoric proto-Indo-Iranian times to the post-Soviet period, Richard Foltz traces the complex linguistic, cultural and political history of the Tajiks, a Persian-speaking Iranian ethnic group from the modern-day Central Asian states of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan.

The Origins of the Civil War in Tajikistan by Tim Epkenhans Pdf

In May 1992 political and social tensions in the former Soviet Republic of Tajikistan escalated to a devastating civil war, which killed approximately 40,000-100,000 people and displaced more than one million. The enormous challenge of the Soviet Union’s disintegration compounded by inner-elite conflicts, ideological disputes and state failure triggered a downward spiral to one of the worst violent conflicts in the post-Soviet space. This book explains the causes of the Civil War in Tajikistan with a historical narrative recognizing long term structural causes of the conflict originating in the Soviet transformation of Central Asia since the 1920s as well as short-term causes triggered by Perestroika or Glasnost and the rapid dismantling of the Soviet Union. For the first time, a major publication on the Tajik Civil War addresses the many contested events, their sequences and how individuals and groups shaped the dynamics of events or responded to them. The book scrutinizes the role of regionalism, political Islam, masculinities and violent non-state actors in the momentous years between Perestroika and independence drawing on rich autobiographical accounts written by key actors of the unfolding conflict. Paired with complementary sources such as the media coverage and interviews, these autobiographies provide insights how Tajik politicians, field commanders and intellectuals perceived and rationalized the outbreak of the Civil War within the complex context of post-Soviet decolonization, Islamic revival and nationalist renaissance.
