Bukharian, also known as Judeo-Bukharic and Judeo-Tajik (autonym: Bukhori, Hebrew script: בוכארי, Cyrillic: бухорӣ, Latin: Buxorī),[a] is a Judeo-Persian dialect historically spoken by the Bukharan Jews of Central Asia.[3][4][5] It is a Jewish dialect derived from—and largely mutually intelligible with—the Tajik branch of the Persian language.

Bukharan Jews spoke a dialect of Tajik referred to as Bukhori or Judeo-Tajik, which is still used by Bukharan Jews today.

The term 'the Jewish dialect of Tajik' is often used interchangeably with such terms as Judeo-Tadzhik, Judeo-Tajik, Bukhori, Bukhari, Bukharic, Bukharan, Bukharian, and Bukharit (Cooper 2012:284) in the literature.
