"Tajik (Dari: \u062A\u0627\u062C\u064A\u06A9: T\u0101j\u012Bk , Tajik: \u0422\u043E\u04B7\u0438\u043A) is a general designation for a wide range of Persian-speaking people of Iranian origin, with traditional homelands in present-day Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. As a self-designation, the term Tajik, which earlier on had been more or less pejorative, has become acceptable only during the last several decades, particularly as a result of Soviet administration in Central Asia."@en . . . .
