Tajikistan
Tajikistan appeared as Tadjikistan or Tadzhikistan in English prior to 1991. This is due to a transliteration from the Russian: "Таджикистан".In Russian, there is no single letter "j" to represent the phoneme /ʤ/, and therefore дж, or dzh, is is the most common alternate spelling and is widely used in English literature derived from Russian sources.
