Bukharian, also known as Judeo-Bukharic and Judeo-Tajik (autonym: Bukhori, בוכארי, Бухорӣ, Buxorī), is a Judeo-Persian dialect historically spoken by the Bukharan Jews of Central Asia. It is a Jewish dialect derived from—and largely mutually intelligible with—the Eastern Persian varieties of Tajiki and Dari.
