A close up of the border between Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The Sokh (So'x) District is an oddity as it belongs to Uzbekistan, bordered entirely within Kyrgyzstan but is populated entirely by ethnic Tajiks.

Are Tajiks more related to Iranians/Afghanis or Kazakhs/Mongolians?
Tajiks are an ethnic group primarily found in Central Asia, particularly in modern-day Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan. They speak the Tajik language, which is a dialect of Persian (Farsi) and are generally considered to be closely related to Iranians in terms of language, culture, and history.
Tajiks and Mongols are two distinct ethnic groups with different origins and histories. While there may have been some interaction and influence between the two groups over the centuries, there is no significant genetic or linguistic relationship between them.
The Tajik language is a member of the Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family, which is the same branch as Persian (Farsi). The grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of Tajik are similar to those of Persian, and the two languages are mutually intelligible to a significant extent.
Culturally, Tajiks have been heavily influenced by Persian culture over the centuries, particularly during the period of the Samanid dynasty (9th-10th centuries CE), which was based in what is now modern-day Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The Samanid rulers were Persian-speaking and promoted Persian culture, literature, and art in their territories, which had a lasting impact on the region.
In terms of history, the lands inhabited by Tajiks were historically part of the greater Iranian cultural and political sphere, with ties to various Persian empires and dynasties such as the Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, and Safavids. The region was also influenced by Islamic culture and traditions, which further connected it to the wider Iranian world.
Tajiks and Iranians share a close linguistic, cultural, and historical relationship, with the Tajik people being considered a branch of the greater Iranian cultural and linguistic family.

Photographer NDA Li Xing Zhao
"Through the unknown Tashkurgan unveils an unworldly world I discovered on the Pamir Plateau.
At China's west gate in the eastern part of the Pamirs on the "roof of the world" is the Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang. The Tajiks reside in relative isolation in the snow-capped Pamir Mountain range of West China near the borders of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan.
There are about 41,000 Tajiks living in Tashkurgan. These peoples live in harmony and with intimacy born out of mutual trust and love. From 2009 until now, I stayed for several month photographing the tajiks nomads, using a large-format digital camera Hasselblad and Profoto lighting.
I was able to arrange an old pickup truck and a Tajiks driver. We travelled this sparsely populated landscape searching for the Tajiks nomads, staying with the families we encountered along the way."

“O wanderer, thorns of lonely sadness are stuck in your robes,
As soon as you see a blooming spring flower garden, stay away!
O dervish, blinded by grief, in love without hope,
Don't trust doctors words and salve! Your illness is to far gone!”
– Saadi Shīrāzī
