-------------------------------
Bukhara (Bokhara in XIX century English, Buxoro or ?????? in Uzbek (the Cyrillic alphabet was officially phased out for Uzbek after independence); ?????? /Bukh?r?/ in Persian, Buhe/Puhe Tang Chinese, ?????? in Russian; also Boxara in Tatar) is the fifth-largest city in Uzbekistan, and capital of the Bukhara region (Bukhoro Wiloyati). It has a population of 237,900 (1999 census estimate), the majority of whom are Persian-speaking Tajiks. Bukhara and Samarkand are the two major centers of the Tajiki-Persian culture and history. During Soviet times these two Tajiki centers were annexed to the Uzbekistan SSR, much to the disgust of the Tajiks of Central Asia. Ever since, a harsh program of assimilation and cultural confinement has been carried out on the Tajiks of Uzbekistan by the Uzbek authority.
Bukhara is also home to a large number of Jews, whose ancestors settled in the city during Roman times. The term 'Bukharan Jew' is frequently used to describe all Jews who come from Central Asia.
