Abstract

The influence of English on the Uzbek language and culture has significantly increased over the past few decades, driven by globalization, technological advancements, and cultural exchange. This article explores the various dimensions of this influence, including vocabulary borrowing, shifts in communication styles, and changes in cultural practices. By examining linguistic changes, educational reforms, and media consumption, we can gain insight into how English is reshaping contemporary Uzbekistan.
