Pamiris in China, also called “Tajiks” in China (Chinese: 塔吉克族, Pinyin: Tǎjíkèzú), are one of the 56 nationalities officially recognized by the People's Republic of China.
This group, with a population of 41,028 (2000), is located mainly in China's western Xinjiang region with 60% living in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County. They are a collection of over a dozen small East Iranian ethnic groups. The Ethnologue claims that they are actually Shugni and Wakhi, distinct from the West Iranian Persian-speaking Tajiks of Tajikistan. Aurel Stein and other writers from his time referred to them simply as Sarikoli. Some have referred to them simply as "Mountain Tajiks." Robert Shaw considered them Sarikolis and Wakhis, referring to them collectively as Ghalchah.
In China, the languages of Pamiris have no official written form. The great majority of Chinese Pamiris speakers speak the Sarikoli language and use Uyghur, Kyrgyz or Chinese to communicate with people of other nationalities in the area. A small proportion of Chinese Pamiri speakers speak Wakhi.
