Tor Tajiks are Tajiks indigenous to the village of Tor in Xinjiang, China. The Chinese government officially regards them as members of the "Tajik nationality", along with the non-Tajik, Sarikoli- or Wakhi-speaking Pamiris of Tashkurgan County.[1] Although they are Iranic Tajiks, they speak a Turkic language unique to their ethnicity.[1]
Language and culture
[edit]The Tor Tajiks follow Tajik customs but speak a Turkic language intermediate between Uyghur and Uzbek.[1] Although intermarriages are common between Sarikolis and Wakhis, Tor Tajiks generally do not intermarry with the other two subgroups of the Tajik nationality.[2]
