Tajiki Persian " or "Judæo-Tajik". It is the primary traditional language of theBukharian Jews . Persian بخاری (boxārī), Tajik бухорӣ (buxorī), Bukhori בוכארי (buxori).Bukhori is based on a substrate of classical Persian, with a large number of Hebrew
loanword s, as well as smaller numbers of loanwords from other surrounding languages, including Uzbek, Tajik and Russian.
