Key characteristics of the Uzbek language

Uzbek translation produced with Central Asia language teams, terminology control, and Fora's quality workflow.

Belongs to the Karluk branch of the Turkic languages, close to Uyghur and more distantly to Turkish, Kazakh and Kyrgyz.

The form of some suffixes depends on whether the stem contains front or back vowels.

Historically written in Arabic and then Cyrillic script; the Latin alphabet is official today.

Carries a significant layer of Persian and Tajik vocabulary, especially in literature and formal speech.

Includes the Tashkent, Ferghana, Khorezm, Bukhara-Samarkand and southern dialects, with differences in pronunciation and vocabulary.

Complex words are formed by adding suffixes to a stem in a fixed order, with few irregularities.
