ANNOTATION

The article is the first to review the measures of weight and area of ​​Tajiks in the mountain principalities of highland (Kishtud, Magiyan, Matcha, Falgar, Fon) in the end of XIX - beginning of XX centuries. It states that the population used local measures, which differed in size from the measures of large cities, such as Bukhara, Samarkand, Ura-Tyube with which trade was carried out. Measures of weight were at the same time measures of the sown area of ​​land, but there were also square measures of land (tanab). These measures were widely used in socio-economic relations, and completely satisfied the inhabitants of Highlands.
