To me it is difficult to say that, before these places were mostly inhabitated by Iranic peoples, Uzbeks are somehow a mix . Actually it doesn't even matter the origin of ibn Sina, his teachings are the important.
Concerning Tajiks, I don't think that they are Arabs, ut they may have also an Arab component, like also some Turkic component. But as you know, at the moment there are no pure race nations.

Tajik is not race!!!!

A Tajik is Central Asian who speaks and follows Persian culture.

Some may be Arab descendants but not all of them!

"Tajik" etymologically means "Arab".

Coincidence ? I think not.

Tajik women look exactly like Arab women. Big black eyes, dark hair.

Coincidence ? I think not.

Show any American a picture of a Tajik woman, he'll tell you it's an Arab.

Coincidence ? I think not.

There are many theories regarding how the word Tajik came to be in use. Some say Tajik was originally a term used by Turks to refer to non Turks, Farsi speaking people were the first group that Turks came.into contact with the Turks and they referred to them as Tajik. So the term Tajik just meant non Turk. Even Rumi mentions in one of his poems "look at the Turk spilling the blood of Tajik", so by 11th century some Farsi speakers at least reffered to themselves.as Tajik. Eve though it wasn't a self designate adopted the term for themselves. Another theory is that is that Tajik is derived fro the term "Tazi"which the Persians used for Arabs, with the Islamic conquest of central Asia some Arabs settled in big cities such as Bukhara and Samarqand and slowly adopted the Persian language and came to be reffered to as Tajiks, that is Persian speaking Arabs.

There are other theories as well which says that Tajik comes from the word "Taj" which means crown in Persian.

DNA results and history shows that modern Tajiks are just remanents of old Iranic population of Central Asia. The ancestors of Tajiks include Parthians, Bactrians, yaghnobis, Soghdians etc. Ofcourse Tajiks have some semitic blood as a result of Arab conquest and also some Mongol blood due to conquest.

Lol are you living under a rock? I suggest you take a trip down to YouTube and see all the negativity against Pashtuns by Tajiks. They call us Jewish and claim they will "take over khorssan once again". Yeah right lol.

I have a hazara friend who knows I am pashtun and can speak Pashto a little bit. They are nice people.

Ok here's the catch:

Tajiks are pamiris who have mixed heavily with Mongols and other Turkic people. Go to tajikstan they can pass as mongoloids and indian sometime.


Btw what's up with Tajik women and those Hedious unibrows? Bushy eyebrows always gives me the creeps.

[Al Hanif]

I'm onto something.

Coincidence ? You decide.

Perhaps ONLY the ones YOU have met. Certainly not majority of them.

and since when did Hazaras became Tajiks? They are completely different people. Their culture and customs are completely different from tajiks.

I disagree with that. perhaps only the tajiks in Afghanistan only (NOT THE HAZARAS), Tajiks from tajikistan have some different features compared to those in Afghanistan. Besides you can say the same thing about Pashtun women too.

Show any American a picture of a Tajik woman, he'll tell you it's an Arab.

uhh since when did we appointed the dumb americans to determine our race?
