Who speaks Uzbek?

Uzbek belongs to the Altaic language family, specifically the Karluk (Turkic) group of languages. Approximately 33 million people worldwide speak Uzbek, and for the vast majority, it is their native language.

In addition to Uzbekistan, where Uzbek is the official language, it is also spoken in parts of northern Afghanistan and eastern Turkey, regions historically home to Uzbek communities.

A significant number of Uzbek speakers can also be found in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Turkmenistan, and China. Uzbek minorities reside in countries such as Australia, Israel, Germany, the USA, and Ukraine.

Uzbek language – history

The Uzbek language emerged from the interaction of Turkic languages with the languages of the Sogdians, Khwarazmians, Saka, and Bactrians. Its development was complex, multifaceted, and spanned many centuries, starting from the 7th century.

In the 8th century, Uzbekistan came under Arab rule, which led to the use of the Arabic alphabet in the Uzbek language until 1927. The Uzbek language can be considered a direct descendant or a later form of the Chagatai language (now extinct), which served as the lingua franca in Central Asia from the 13th to the 19th century CE.

From 1940 to 1992, when Uzbekistan was a Soviet republic known as the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, the Uzbek language was written in Cyrillic. Since 1992, it has been officially written in Latin script, though Cyrillic or Arabic script can still be used. Uzbeks in China and Afghanistan use the Arabic script.

Uzbek is a highly diverse language with numerous dialects. Unlike other Turkic languages, it lacks vowel harmony. The influence of Islam has introduced many Arabic words into Uzbek, primarily through Persian.

Additionally, the language has been significantly impacted by Persian languages and dialects spoken in neighboring regions, such as Farsi, Dari, and Tajik. Therefore, when it comes to professional translations from or into Uzbek, it is crucial for translators to consider this linguistic diversity.

Uzbek in business

Currently, economic cooperation between Ukraine and Uzbekistan is on the rise. In 2021, Ukraine ranked among the top 10 key trade and economic partners of Uzbekistan (8th place) with a trade turnover of USD 737 million, marking a 64% increase compared to 2020.

To start a business in Uzbekistan, it is essential to know the Uzbek language. Besides language proficiency, it is crucial to pay attention to the professional translation of all company materials into Uzbek.

However, if you are importing goods (such as fruits and vegetables, copper, yarn) into the domes-tic market, it is worth considering professional translations from Uzbek into Ukrainian. This will undoubtedly contribute to your company’s success in the international market.
