History and Background
Tajik is an Iranian language, part of the Indo-European family and related to Persian. Iranian languages have a long written heritage and have influenced, and been influenced by, the many cultures of Central and South Asia.
Like all living languages, Tajik continues to evolve, absorbing new words and adapting to modern life while preserving the distinctive character that connects its speakers to their heritage. Understanding a little of this background makes every translation more meaningful, because language is a carrier of identity and memory as much as a tool for communication.
Tajik is written in the Cyrillic alphabet, which looks unfamiliar to English readers at first but becomes readable quite quickly once you learn the letters.
