Tashkent means "stone city" and is the capital of Uzbekistan republic.
one of my friend translate tash in the right way :Tashkent derivated from the word SASH meaning "6 GATES of the ANCIENT city" today's capital of Uzbekistan.By the way sash means 6 in farsi ( ıranıan language )
It was situated in the junction of the silk road from China to Europe.
In China sources the city was called Yuni; in the inscription of the year 262 before A.D.
According to persians the city was called Chach ( which means King ) which has the same name in the arabics books .
Mahmud Kashgariy (Mahmud from Kasgar) the name Tashkent was appeared in the Turkish sources of 9-12 centuries.
