The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Tajikstan: Tajikistan – mountainous, landlocked, sovereign country located in Central Asia. Tajikistan borders Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east. Most of Tajikistan's population belongs to the Tajik ethnic group, who share culture and history with the Persian peoples and speak the Tajik language, a modern variety of Persian. Once part of the Samanid Empire, Tajikistan became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union in the 20th century, known as the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic (Tajik SSR). After independence, Tajikistan suffered from a devastating civil war which lasted from 1992 to 1997. Since the end of the war, newly established political stability and foreign aid have allowed the country's economy to grow. Its natural resources such as cotton and aluminium have contributed greatly to this steady improvement, although observers have characterized the country as having few natural resources besides hydroelectric power and its strategic location.〔Greenberg, Ilan, "Media Muzzled and Opponents Jailed, Tajikistan Readies for Vote," ''The New York Times'', November 4, 2006 (article dateline November 3, 2006), page A7, New York edition〕 == General reference == * Pronunciation: * Common English country name: Tajikistan * Official English country name: The Republic of Tajikistan * Common endonym(s): Tojikiston, Тоҷикистон * Official endonym(s): Jumhurii Tojikiston, Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон * Adjectival(s): Tajikistani * Demonym(s): Tajikistani, Tajik * Etymology: Name of Tajikistan * ISO country codes: TJ, TJK, 762 * ISO region codes: See ISO 3166-2:TJ * Internet country code top-level domain: .tj 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outline of Tajikistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
