[edit] Forced Migration
The forced migration to the "newly established district Zafarobod in northern Tajikistan" comes from the article in footnote three in the references, the article by Thomas Loy. Mattisse(talk) 11:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Resettlement
I saw there was a question about the Yaghnobi being resettled in the last edited: "northern? it seems they were resetteled to south." Some were resettled in the north, and some in the south. During the civil war some of the Yaghnobi villages in the south were targeted for massacres. David Straub 13:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the clarification
It's hard figuring out what happened specifically from the online articles. But it was clearly devastating to the Yaghnobi people as the article describes. I've been finding little pockets of people that this type of thing happened to. Mattisse(talk) 13:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More sources
I'd been wanting to write an article about the Yaghnobi for a while, but I just haven't had the time. I'm glad to see that others have. There are some good sources that you might want to reference about this subject:
THE YAGHNABIS in the The Peoples of the Red Book http://www.eki.ee/books/redbook/yaghnabis.shtml
Iraj Bashiri. The Yaghnobis. <http://www.iles.umn.edu/faculty/bashiri/Tajling%20folder/yaghnob.html>
I also have a pdf file copy of a 1971 New York Times article about the resettlment that I could forward to anyone who is interested. Has a lot of good information. E-mail me at davestraub@yahoo.com if you're interested.
There are a number of other interesting language groups in Tajikistan, notably from the Pamir languages. There are some wikipedia articles on them, but some notable languages, especially Shughni, haven't been written about yet.--David Straub 00:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources
One of those sources I already had, only under a different address. I stuck it on the front page anyway, so I can keep track of it for now. I've seen that Red Book before too, maybe under a different language/people.
When you look at the map at Tajikistan, it is a startlingly small country. Mattisse(talk) 00:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Tajikistan is small, but it's a pain to travel around because there are so many high peaks you have to pass over. Before modern times communities were highly isolated from their neighbors because of the countries rough geography and languages could thrive in isolation.--David Straub 01:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
