Abstract: Bokharan Jews are known to be the communal andethnolinguistic subpopulation of the Hebrew or Judaic Diaspora. Persons belonging to this nation have lived in Central Asia for centuries. Throughout its long history, Jews committed to smooth integration in the local community. Centuries of co-residence resulted in that the Jews resemble the locals in appearance; they speak local languages as natives, they adopted the culture and way of living. However, no one can state on entire assimilation: the Jews adhere to their religion, they only rarely mix with locals and yet, they still advocate their philosophy, incomparable with others.
