Sunni islam should be made explicit in the info box please, not just islam

We should make a modern era section.[edit]

The current history section in this page just talks about the origins of Tajiks. We should make a modern era section, that many other ethnic group pages already have. Tajiks have had plenty of history in the USSR, Soviet-Afghan War, Afghan civil war, and the current situation in Afghanistan right now.

Etymology[edit]

Tajik in my opinion is combination of тощий and adjective suffix "ic" that is common between english and persian languages. тощий means skinny.previously I found that fars (persian) in another language is slim or thin and turk is широк or wide and lor is in pashtoon tall. there is a concordance between these names and their meanings. this is not a quote.
