Abstract

Pamiri peoples occupy the high mountainous valleys of Pamir in the Tajikistan Republic. They preserved ancient East-Iranian languages and their unique indigenous culture. Currently, the total population of Pamiri peoples in the Mountainous Badakhshan Autonomous District constitutes a number over 150 000. The article analyzes the status of Pamiri peoples as reflected in Soviet and post-Soviet censuses, as well as their views on the future.
