Uzbekistan Language



Uzbekistan being a multi nation country, earlier had various linguistics if the ethnic groups influencing the Uzbeks. Uzbek was declared the state language in 1992. Uzbekistan Language is actually the creation of the Soviet state.

The official language of Uzbekistan is the Uzbek Language and Russian is the language for international communication. In the beginning the Uzbeks used a large amount of Russian loan words which they deliberately started eliminating during 1980s. Though in the official and economic affairs Russian is still used. Many alphabets of Arab, Turkish and Latin predominated the local language of Uzbekistan. Now, Uzbek is undoubtedly used all over the country but other international languages are also encouraged. English is becoming increasingly common and many policy makers hope to replace this language to Russian.

The Uzbek language consists of many dialects. The dialects of Uzbek language vary according to regions and provinces. However, there is a standard dialect which is understood by all. This dialect is used in mass media and in newspapers. The people of northern Afghanistan speaks similarly to the dialect of Uzbek.

The writing style of Uzbek language is called the Cyrillic. Some letters are similar to English and Latin, while others are pictorial as the Chinese letters. Uzbekistan Language is sweet to hear and the gestures are inviting.
