Dari Persian flourished in the Samanid period. This trend continued even after the downfall of the Samanid dynasty. In Iran, Turkey, India and Caucasus many scientific books were published in this language. The writings of Ebn-e Sina and Abu Reyhan Biruni in particular, played a great role in the development of the scientific terms in Dari Persian. Tajiki terms were also influenced by these developments. Generally, the development of Tajik may be divided into three periods: The first period started in the late 1910s. In this period, the new social, political, cultural and economic trends caused the need for coining new terms. The second period started early 1930s, and continued until late 1980s. As a result of the misguided policies of the first Committee for Coining Terms (1933), many serious mistakes happened. The third period starts in the late 1980s, covering the period of Glasnost and the independence of Tajikistan Republic. The purpose of this paper is to trace these developments in the national language of Tajikistan Republic.
