Bukhara 布哈拉（烏茲別克語：Buxoro）

布哈拉（烏茲別克語：Buxoro）是位於烏茲別克斯坦西南部的一座城市，也是該國第五大城市和布哈拉州的首府，人口237,900（1999年）。

布哈拉在唐代稱為捕喝、安國，王姓昭武，為昭武九姓之一。布哈拉在梵文是指[[修道院與學術中心。

與烏茲別克斯坦的另一座大城市撒馬爾罕一樣，布哈拉的塔吉克人佔多數人口，伊朗文化佔優勢。在蘇聯把布哈拉劃給烏茲別克後，塔吉克斯坦有收回布哈拉的企圖^[1]。

Bukhara was known as Bokhara in 19th- and early-20th-century English publications and as Buhe/Puhe（捕喝) in Tang Chinese.^[5]

According to the Encyclopædia Iranica the name Bukhara is possibly derived from the Sogdian βuxārak ("Place of Good Fortune")^[6]
