Uzbek language

Uzbek is a Turkic language spoken primarily in Uzbekistan and surrounding Central Asian countries. It has rich vowel harmony and employs both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, with Latin currently dominant. The language features agglutinative grammar, meaning it builds words by adding suffixes to root words to express different meanings and grammatical functions. Uzbek shares linguistic roots with other Turkic languages like Turkish and Kyrgyz, but has also absorbed influences from Russian, Persian, and Arabic due to historical interactions. It serves as a vital cultural and national identity marker for the Uzbek people.
