BUKHARIAN JEWISH DIALECT (JUDEO-TAJIK)

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Special Thanks to Natan and Bobby

The Bukharian Jews are a Mizrahi Jewish sub-group of Central Asia that historically spoke Bukharian, a Judeo-Tajik dialect of the Tajik language, in turn a variety of the Persian language. Their name comes from the former Central Asian Emirate of Bukhara (now primarily Uzbekistan), which once had a sizable Jewish population. Bukharian Jews are of Persian-Jewish ancestry, though they are considered one of the oldest ethno-religious groups of Central Asia and over the centuries developed their own distinct culture.

By the way the translation of the first sentence is incorrect, the woman does not have a lung disease, the correct translation is, ‘she is tired of her husband’ the word ‘Shösh’ in our dialect is husband, short for the Persian word ‘Shavhar’

The sample text is a comic and parodic conversation between the wife and the husband

Here is the correct translation

The beautiful Miriam, who was fed up with her husband, and had not seen a single happy day from him, said to him: 'I hope that God will take my soul so that I can get rid of you.' Her husband Jacob ׳the folded׳ who was frightened by her words said: God save, God save, Miriam dear, why do you say these things, how can I live without you? If this is the case then I hope that immediately after your death God will take me too! Miriam responded to her husband's response, 'If that's the case, then immediately after you die I will ask God for a favor to bring me back to life

I can say the judo-tajik has saved more formal speech and grammars than any other tajik dialects

I'm Afghan and I understood more than 90% of what he said.

[mr.bhoobaun]

As a Bukharian Jewish this video is so professional!
When I listened to the video for the first time I was sure that my uncle is the speaker 😂
Good job Andy ❤

Judo_Tajik is a very beautiful accent of Tajik language(an accent of Persian language in Central Asia). As an Iranian I understand all their language if they speak not very fast.

[justilan]

As an Israeli Bukharian jew I send greetings to our Uzbekistan/Tajikian/Persian /Iranian friends no politics ❤

As a Tajik speaker from Uzbekistan I hear American/foreign accent 😂in the Tajik. I have spoken with Buxari Jews from Samarqand in Brooklyn and they spoke the same language I spoke.

[oguzhanmoroglu]

This is normally Tajik language, there is no difference except some a little Jewish expressions (Shalom Aleikhem, Shabbot...)

[lateblossom]

The voice of the man recording sounds like he is so nice :)

[hosheyni]

It was really great and interesting. This language is completely understandable for Persian speakers (Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan). And of course, it has similarities with other Iranic languages.

[AmirKhorasani]

I am a Tajik from Ghor province from Afghanistan, but our ancestors were Jewish as they told us, by the way still Jewish fortresses exist in our village. ☺

[nikitamotel]

Please make Bukhara and Samarkand Tajik language!) This is Farsi, but Jewish, but i need exactly the one that everyone speaks except Jews <3

[WorldWizards]
