Tadjik

A Danish citizen and a Tadjik were also reported by the group to have blown themselves up.

Most of them seemed to be Tadjiks of Iranian origin.

With the Tadjiks were mingled specimens of different races who either reside in Turkestan or whose native countries border on it.

There are a few Tadjiks of Persian origin, the handsomest men you can imagine.

The Khanates of Bokhara and Samarkand used to form Sogdiana, a Persian satrapy inhabited by the Tadjiks and afterwards by the Usbegs, who invaded the country at the close of the fifteenth century.
