[edit] Proposed move to Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic

It seems that given that the formal name for this nation was "Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic", the soviet prefix abbreviation (-"SSR") shouldn't be in the full article name. Therefore, I propose to move the article to its full form, Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. We wouldn't have an article about North Korea titled "DPRK", would we? --Micahbrwn (talk) 09:59, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tajik/Tadzhik?

Obviously, "Tajik" is the correct transcription now (and should have been then), but during the Soviet period the usual spelling in Western sources was the transliteration from the Cyrillic, "Tadzhik". Should this article not therefore use the spelling "Tadzhik" with reference to the S.S.R., so as not to be anachronistic? RandomCritic (talk) 01:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
