The Tajiks of Uzbekistan are ethnic Tajiks living in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Tajiks make up around 5% of Uzbekistans total population, though this number is belived to be much higher. The third-largest city in Uzbekistan, Samarkand and the major city of Bukhara have a Tajik majority.

History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2024)

Population

Main article: Tajiks

Tajiks are the second largest ethnic group in Uzbekistan since after the fall of the Soviet Union. Tajiks are the majority in the ancient city of Bukhara and in Samarkand, the third-largest city in Uzbekistan. 20.4% of Tajiks live in Surxondaryo Region and 19.9% in Samarqand Region.

Number of Tajiks in Uzbekistan
1926 1939 1959 1970 1979 1989 2017 2021
Number % Number % Number % Number % Number % Number % Number % Number %
350,670 7.4 317,560 5.1 311,375 3.8 457,356 3.8 594,627 3.9 933,560 4.7 1,544,700 4.8 1,657,336 4.8

The rise in the percentage of Tajiks from 3.9% in 1979 to 4.7% in 1989 can be partly explained by a change in census instructions. In the 1989 census, for the first time, respondents could report their nationality based on their ethnic self-identification rather than their passport.

True Population & Uzbekisation

Main article: Uzbekisation

Due to assimilation pressures that began in 1924 with the creation of the Uzbek SSR, ethnic Tajiks often identified themselves as Uzbeks in population census forms and preferred to be registered as Uzbek in their passports to avoid relocating to the less developed agricultural and mountainous region of Tajikistan. While official Uzbek statistics estimate the Tajik population in Uzbekistan to be around 5%, some expert estimates suggest that Tajiks may actually comprise as much as 25%-30% of the country's total population. Thus the true number of Tajiks in Uzbekistan is unknown.
