Tajikistan
wis the last o the umwhile
Soviet
republics tae reveal a new
banner
(
Tajik
:
Парчами То?икистон
,
Parcami Tocikiston
), which wis adoptit in November 1992. The ane common link atween this an the
1953 SSR banner
is the choice o colors - red, white an green. The umwhile
Tajik SSR
, whiles referred tae as the "Tadzhik SSR" (
Roushie
:
Таджикская ССР
), addit white an green stripes tae the
banner o the USSR
. The stripin an aa emphasizes Tajikistan's
Persian
cultur, as
Iran
's banner haes the same stripes (awtho reid an green are reverst).
The
croun
represents the
Tajik fowk
, the name itself arguably is derived frae
tajvar
, which means "crouned". In traditional Tajik cultural aspects the magic wird "seiven" is a seembol o perfection, the embodiment o happiness an the provider o virtue. Accordin tae Tajik
legend
,
Islamic heaven
is componed o seiven bonnie orchids, separatit bi seiven mountains each wi a glaein
star
on tap. The middle white stripe is ane-an-a-half times the size o the reid an green stripes. The reid represents the unity o the naition an the seembol o the sun an victory; the white represents purity,
cotton
, the snaw on the mountains an the unity o the fowk; an green stands for the spiritual meanin o
Islam
an represents the generosity o naitur o the kintra. The seembol charged in the middle o the white stripe is a croun surmountit bi an arc o seiven stars.
