When Europeans first started writing non Latin grammars they still treated all the languages as if they were Latin - they had to have case endings for example (even chinese etc). Now Ashkenazi Jews want all the other jews to have their own Yiddish. Which is not the case. 'Bukhaghit' exists in their imagination like the Chinese case endings. Please someone, open a 'bukhari' book and see what our language is called. Persian. And it is not endangered, barukh Hashem :) We 've lost it because we left our country. Others still speak it.
