Tajik

" ** "New Persian" has three chief dialects: "Farsi" in Iran, "Dari" in Afghanistan, and "Tajiki" in the Central Asian countries of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Tajiki is the vehicle and voice for a rich medieval literary tradition which it shares with Iran and Afghanistan and a dynamic contemporary literary and cultural life. More than 5,000,000 people speak Tajiki. Written in Cyrillic script, Tajiki is perhaps the easiest Asian language for speakers of English to learn.**" Professor Hillman.
