From the supplier: Tajik language has had several influences although the strongest is that of a Persian variety and Uzbek Turkish. After the Bolshevik invasion and the consequent erroneous divisions into the Uzbek and Tajik republics, the Tajiks tried to create a literary language structure based on Persian. The Bolshevik's decree that made Cyrillic script the sole official alphabet and Russian the official language of the Union killed Tajikistan's linguistic efforts. With the political development of the 1990s, Perso-Arabic has been re-established and is becoming more prevalently used in literature.
