Tajik Persian is a variety of the Persian language spoken primarily in Tajikistan and parts of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. It is one of the official languages of Tajikistan and is written in the Cyrillic script, which distinguishes it from other Persian dialects that use the Arabic script. The language has been influenced by various regional languages, including Russian and Tajik, leading to unique vocabulary and pronunciation. Despite these differences, Tajik Persian remains mutually intelligible with Farsi spoken in Iran and Dari spoken in Afghanistan.
