TAJIK LANGUAGE — A SYMBOL OF NATIONAL IDENTITY

Today, within the Service of Execution under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, and as part of the declared year 2026 as the “Year of Expanding Beautification and Construction Works, as well as Strengthening National Self-Awareness and Self-Knowledge,” a scientific and literary event was held on the topic “The Tajik Language — a Symbol of National Self-Consciousness,” with the broad participation of employees from the central office and relevant territorial structures of the Service.

The event was opened by the Head of the Human Resources and Legal Support Department of the Service of Execution, Kh.K. Nazarzoda, who emphasized the role of the state language in the formation of statehood and the strengthening of national unity. In his speech, he noted that the Tajik language is a symbol of the nation’s existence, its historical heritage, and spiritual identity, and that the correct, pure, and careful use of this language—one that has created a great civilization—is the civic duty of every Tajik citizen.

In continuation of the event, the People’s Poet of Tajikistan, Rustam Vahhobzoda, delivered a substantive presentation on the rich history of the development of the Tajik language, its place in world civilization, and the importance of preserving its purity in the modern era. It was emphasized that the Tajik language is not only a means of communication but also a historical passport and a reflection of the worldview of our people. It represents an invaluable heritage of great masters of literature such as Rudaki, Ferdowsi, Saadi, and Hafez, whose works resonate with renewed strength in the conditions of a free and independent Tajikistan. Respect and reverence for this rich and melodious language is the moral duty of every conscious and patriotic citizen, as language serves as a strong foundation of statehood and the principal symbol of a nation’s existence on the international stage.

During the event, employees of the Service also delivered presentations on legal regulation and the use of the state language in official documentation, sharing their views and proposals.

The holding of such events plays an important role in strengthening patriotism, reinforcing national self-consciousness, and fostering respect for this essential spiritual value of society.
