Tajikistan is a Persian-speaking country in southern Central Asia that used to be part of the former Soviet Union. Like all Republics of the Soviet Union, each regional republic had their own anthem. Some of those former Soviet republics kept their anthem's tune in their modern-day post-Soviet national anthems, as independent countries. Tajikistan is one of them. The tune of Tajikistan's national anthem is based on that of the Anthem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic, which was composed by a Bukharan Jewish composer named Sulaymon Yudakov, and the words to that song was written by an Iranian-Soviet poet named Abulqosim Lohuti.
