Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /taˈdʒiːkiˌstaːn/, /-kɪsˌtaːn/, (chiefly southern also) /taˈtʃiː-/
    • Audio:(file)
  • The form with /tʃ/ is used by some speakers who do have a phonemic /ʒ/. (Compare Kambodscha, Maharadscha, where the same is caused by the preceding stressed short vowel. This explanation fails here, so it may be a case of assimilation.)

Proper noun

[edit]

Tadschikistan n (proper noun, genitive Tadschikistans or (optionally with an article) Tadschikistan)

  1. Tajikistan (a country in Central Asia)
