It is a landlocked country located in Central Asia and is the smallest of the former Soviet republics in terms of population with an estimated 8 million people. The official language is Tajik but Russian is also widely spoken.

Tajik culture has been heavily influenced by its history as well as its geography and environment. Music styles range from traditional folk music such as Shashmaqam or Laili to more modern genres such as pop or rock while traditional dance often incorporates intricate hand movements accompanied by drums or gongs. Religion also plays an important role in Tajik culture with Islam being the predominant faith followed by other faiths such as Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism.
