  1. Bukharan Jews

    Ethnic group

    Bukharan Jews, in modern times called Bukharian Jews, are the Mizrahi Jewish sub-group of Central Asia that traditionally spoke Bukharian, a Judeo-Persian language most similar to the Tajik dialect of Farsi. Their name comes from the former Muslim-Uzbek polity Emirate of Bukhara which once had a sizable Jewish population. The vast majority lived in modern-day Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, with small groups in Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan. Bukharan Jews are one of the oldest Jewish diaspora groups, dating back to the Babylonian exile, and are a branch of Persian-Jewry. They are also one of the oldest ethno-religious groups in Central Asia. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the great majority have immigrated to Israel or the United States, with others immigrating to Europe or Australia. Wikipedia
