Dushanbe language used Tajik
Etymology
Dushanbe was the location of a large bazaar that operated on Mondays. This gave rise to the name Dushanbe-Bazar (Tajik: Душанбе Бозор, Dushanbe Bozor) from Dushanbe, which means Monday in the Persian language – literally, the second day (du) following Saturday (shanbe). Its previous name was Stalinabad (the city of Stalin), but renamed as a result of de-Stalinization.
