DUSHANBE, October 5, 2013, Asia-Plus — Tajikistan marked State Language Day today.

On this occasion, a number of events took place in Tajikistan today.  In Dushanbe, they were held in the Park named after Roudaki as well as in Boghi Poytakht and Durzhba Narodov parks.

The State Language Day had been celebrated annually on July 22, the anniversary of the designation of Tajik as the state language in 1989, until 2010, when on July 21 President Rahmon amended the date to October 5.

A new law on official languages that went into effect in Tajikistan in October 2009 removed Russian as the “language for interethnic communication.”

It is to be noted that the new date (October 5) of celebration of State Language Day coincides with birthday of President Emomali Rahmon.
