Tajik is a variety of Farsi/Persian spoken primarily in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, but also Iran and Afghanistan. In the former two countries, it uses the Cyrillic alphabet with 6 characters beyond those found in Russian. OS X includes the fonts necessary for this language.
You can get experimental Cyrillic Tajik keyboard layouts here. The QWERTY version has a graphic to show the character location. The PC version has the special Tajik characters on the Alt/Option layer of the normal Russian keys. Leave a comment if you find errors or think improvements are desirable.

I can't even open the page. what should I do?
Luca -- I certainly have no problem. Are you trying to use PC? You need to use a Mac I think. Email me and I can send it to you (tom at bluesky dot org).
Tom,
Is this still available? I can't seem to open it either.

Hi Tom,
I got zip file but don't know how to install it. new to mac,, and will it show up in lang. & text preferences?
Thanx
Galib -- you unzip by double-clicking if necessary, then put the .keylayout file in Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts, the logout/login. It should then appear in the input sources preferences. To get to Home/Library in 10.7 or later, hold down the alt/option key while you do Finder > Go.
Great! it works. thank you again.
btw, some russian letters have been excluded from tajik alphabet (щ,ы,ь,ц)
