Flag of Tajikistan
The flag of Tajikistan is composed of three horizontal bands of red, white and green in the ratio of 2:3:2. A golden-yellow crown surmounted by an arc of seven five-pointed golden-yellow stars is centered in the white band.
Where it is
Tajikistan is grouped in Central Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 4 countries in this atlas: Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan. It is landlocked.
Tajikistan has a recorded area of 143,100 square kilometres. Among the 5 countries assigned to Central Asia in this dataset, it ranks 5 by area, from largest to smallest. Kyrgyzstan is immediately above it in that ordering, at 199,951 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 10,786,734 people for Tajikistan in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 75 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Russian and Tajik. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Tajikistani Somoni (TJS). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
