History of Uzbek

Uzbek descended from Chagatai, the literary language of Central Asian Turks. It has heavy Persian influence from centuries of Silk Road interaction. Uzbekistan switched from Arabic to Latin to Cyrillic to Latin scripts over the 20th century. Timur's empire spread Uzbek cultural influence across Central Asia.

Is Uzbek Hard to Learn?

Medium

Uzbek uses Latin script and has relatively consistent grammar following Turkic patterns. Vowel harmony is less strict than in other Turkic languages. Persian and Russian loanwords add vocabulary but can help speakers of those languages.
