Tajiks Wedding (one of the 56 nationalities in China) 2/2

Pamiris in China, also called Tajiks in China (Chinese: 塔吉克族, Pinyin: Tǎjíkèzú), are one of the 56 nationalities officially recognized by the People's Republic of China.[citation needed]
This group, with a population of 41,028 (in 2000), is located mainly in China's western Xinjiang region with 60% living in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County. They are a collection of over a dozen small East Iranian ethnic groups. The Ethnologue claims that they are actually Shugni and Wakhi, distinct from the West Iranian Persian-speaking Tajiks of Tajikistan. Aurel Stein and other writers from his time referred to them simply as Sarikoli.Some have referred to them simply as "Mountain Tajiks."[6] Robert Shaw considered them Sarikolis and Wakhis, referring to them collectively as Ghalchah.
