“The term Bukharan was coined by European travelers who visited Central Asia around the 16th century. Since most of the Jewish community at the time lived under the Emirate of Bukhara, they came to be known as Bukharan Jews. The name by which the community called itself is “Isro'il” (Israelites). 

The appellative Bukharian was adopted by Bukharan Jews who moved to English-speaking countries, in an anglicisation of the Hebrew Bukhari. However, Bukharan was the term used historically by English writers, as it was for other aspects of Bukhara. 

Bukharan Jews used the Persian language to communicate among themselves and later developed Bukhori, a Tajik dialect of the Persian language with small linguistic traces of Hebrew. This language provided easier communication with their neighboring communities and was used for all cultural and educational life among the Jews. It was used widely until the area was “Russified” by the Russians and the dissemination of “religious” information was halted. The elderly Bukharan generation use Bukhori as their primary language but speak Russian with a slight Bukharan accent. The younger generation use Russian as their primary language, but do understand or speak Bukhori.

The Bukharan Jews are Mizrahi Jews and have been introduced to and practice Sephardic Judaism. 

The word Bukharan essentially means an Uzbek Jew in English because most of the Jewish Uzbek moved to the States and other English speaking countries. Meanwhile, the word Bukhari, which is the same word but in Arabic, means an Uzbek Muslim because most of the Muslim Uzbeks moved to the Middle East and other Arabic speaking countries.

Also, as mentioned above, Bukharan derives from the State of Bukhara, where most of the Jews lived. On the other hand, Bukhari is derived from the religious scholar Al-Bukhari, who was very popular in the Arabian Gulf and so it was easier for the Uzbeks immigrating there to group themselves with him than to give a lesson in geography.
