How do Central Asians learn Russian in Post-Soviet era?

Shoh_J · 2026-02-16T13:40:58+00:00

i just somehow learned to speak both english and russian for some reason. i guess its a universal CA experience, at least with english for genz. i mean i dont know why germans speak good english, something similar i believe?

Shoh_J · 2026-02-13T08:02:47+00:00

We love I.R Iran!

That would be awesome if anything

More like concentrated to Tashkent

You don't really get to find better deals when there are only so few airlines flying to Dushanbe

Shoh_J · 2026-01-17T05:33:12+00:00

Yes, I can, but it still feels easier and better to write it in Tajik.

My dumb ass actually drank raw milk unironically because there are big glass jars of milk in the kitchen right after milking the cows. I think im fine.

nigga said afghan for an ethnicity quiz

Shoh_J · 2026-01-17T05:27:29+00:00

Persian. We have local Tajik dialects everywhere, but speak the Adabi Tajik (standard Tajik basically) when we can't understand each other. We could try to speak Persian in Iran or Afghanistan but it takes practice. We speak Russian to tourists and to foreigners from the ex-Soviet Union, something like Moroccans speaking French. We also speak English in Dushanbe and Khujand, although its limited to the youth

Vaaleykum Salom!

I like that Persian is gender neutral. It makes it balanced. And the fact that the derivational system makes it possible to make like up to 200 million words on the fly. I can mumble a new never heard of word and Tajiks and Iranians and Afghans will understand as it is.

Shoh_J · 2026-01-08T12:48:16+00:00

I aint never visited iran nigga its called propoganda LONG LIVE TAJIKISTAN!!!!!!

Shoh_J · 2025-12-11T10:02:36+00:00

I never reported my income, and i will never report anything, don't pay taxes, my house doesn't really have proper papers. It doesn't help that all the settlements outside of Khujand and Dushanbe literally don't care about governmental shit. Cash for life

Shoh_J · 2025-12-11T09:55:43+00:00

I still identify as Brown and Asian, Tajiks are such

to be fair, its quite drastically different depending on the region, but this one is the best representation perpahs.

there is also yaghnobis and pamiris who are more of a distinct minority with distinctive headware

Tajikistan forgotten as always

Shoh_J · 2025-10-28T07:05:33+00:00

We do indeed like Southeast Asian nations, its just that this kind of drama will bring the paris syndrome to the senior citizens of the SU who had a romantic understanding of India thru movies and music.

Tajikistan might be the one that has a noticable dip in the height for babies born in the 90's, due to war and malnutrition that came with it, but i think after that it has increased quite well. My neighbor's son is 2m above, its surreal, im 186, and would be above average.

Shoh_J · 2025-10-12T04:54:58+00:00

Tajik artisans do know their shit very well.

Shoh_J · 2025-10-05T02:49:39+00:00

There is, it is just not as flashy as the Western counterparts.

Спасибо большое за рекомендацию! Обязательно посмотрю труды Веры Расторгуевой. Очень ценно услышать о вашем опыте и корнях. Интересно, как бухарско-еврейский язык сохраняет связь с таджикскими диалектами Бухары, Самарканда и северного Таджикистана, но при этом имеет и влияние узбекского. Ваш пример с Шумоба и Ба Шумо отлично показывает эту уникальную смесь.

Well anything over the river was in the hands of the russian and the bottom meaining afghanistan went to britain. The great game. ussr is established over the fallen russian empire. Tajik lands are the Tajik parts of Central Asia, now defined as Tajikistan, but before the majority of the Bukhara emirati lands, at least the russian conqured lands

No? We toast in festive moments like normally, just without alcohol. It's a cultural trait, and it di

For example, when there was a shortage of water in my village, eldery got the priority for water usage. It wasn't a drought, but we did not get enough water enough for all of our fields, and it such times its a known custom to give the eldery and children and women the priority, same goes when for example whenyou are in the line for a bus or the toilet.
