Tajik language has become one of the main pillars of ensuring national unity and social cohesion during the period of state independence. The role of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Honourable Emomali Rahmon, in the expansion and strengthening of the status of the state language is great. With the continuous efforts and initiatives of the Leader of the Nation, a number of important laws and resolutions related to the state language were adopted and implemented, which led to an increase in the prestige and status of the Tajik language in society and the international arena.
Each citizen must be responsible for protecting and honouring this sacred value, because language is not only a means of communication, but also an embodiment of the national idea, culture, history, and identity of each people. Therefore, we must protect and cherish the state language.
