As a Tajik, my understanding has always been that Tajiks are just Eastern Persians. Pic related is on the Wikipedia page for "Persian peoples." However, plenty of Iranians have told me that I am not Persian. How much validity do their statements have? Are they right, or is Wikipedia? Could I get somebody to explain this to me in simpler terms? Thank you

Tajiks aren't Persian in the modern sense of the word as it defines a specific ethnic group. Persian used to mean what today means Iranian. Tajiks are an Iranic peoples, the same race as Kurds, Persians, Gilakis, Baluchis, Ossetians, Jazz, etc.

It is good you are not Persian. They are going to make up the largest number of dwellers in Hellfire after women inshallah

This is not true, tajiks are persians the same way a bavarian and a prussian are both germans, and are to non-persian iranians what germans are to scandinavians and english for a better example.

One more question, if tajiks and persians are the same as bavarians and prussians what would be the equivalent of germany AKA the one that contains all of said ethnic groups. Would it be "Persia?"

Persia generally refers to just the area of modern Fars province in Iran, I don't know if there's any real general term for Persian speakers

But seriously though, you don't even look like Iranians. Armenians do, Tajiks don't.

What is Tajikistan like?
Is Turkmenistan really another Central Asian North Korea?
>>
>>2819235
Turkmenistan is the oil rich North Korea one. Tajikistan is the dirt poor country with some crazy muslims in one part.

Many of them are there already due to the courage of our Iraqi and Turkic brothers mashallah.
