Who they are
Bukharan Jews are a group that formed in Central Asia. Sources also use the names bukhori, isroil and yahudi, depending on the place and the speaker. 1
Language
The spoken language of Bukharan Jews is a dialect of Tajik. It is a separate tradition within the region's Jewish culture, not a variety of Yiddish. 1
Where they lived
The group formed across the Kokand Khanate, the Bukharan Emirate and the Khivan Khanate. Some families later moved to the region's cities. 1
On the name. Bukharan is a historical collective name; it does not mean that all of these families came from the city of Bukhara. 1
