@gaminoff the term 'tojiki' was forcefully introduced in 1926-7 by the Soviets, 'bukhori' is a result of ignorant mistake. ALL our books published before 1926 call this language Persian ('leshon parsi, zuban-i farsi, zaban-i parsi). David Kuylakov in his Persian-Russian-Hebrew dictioanry even calls Bukharian Jews 'parsiyan' and adds in brackets 'tajik' . So it is new.
@gaminoff Secondly no one not even in their bad dreams called our language 'bukhari' in Bukhara or anywhere esle in Central Asia, that's simpy not true. 'Bukhari' is a purely israeli invention which then spread to the USA.
The language of the immigrants from Bukharian Emirate became 'bukharian'. The amazing thing is that the speakers themselves refer to their Persian languages as Bukharian today.
Thanks a million for uploading this! I'd like to add that Bukhori is a relatively new name for this language and it comes form Israel, where languages of each immigrant community is usually called after the country of origin. Thus Arabic is called 'Morrocan' or 'Iraqi'. You can also hear things like 'Argentinian' language, 'Swiss' language etc. Aramaeic is referred to as 'kurdish' because the Aramaeic speaking jews came form Kurdistan. Same happened with Persian. Language of immgrants from
The language was called "Bukhori" or "Tojiki" in Bukhara. It isn't a new name.
