Abstract

This article explores the influence of digital transformation on the development and preservation of the Uzbek language in the modern era. As globalization accelerates, digital technologies have become both a tool and a threat to linguistic diversity. The research examines how the proliferation of digital media, social networks, and online communication affects the structure, vocabulary, and usage patterns of the Uzbek language, particularly among younger generations. It also analyzes the efforts of state and academic institutions to adapt language policy to new digital realities. The article proposes strategic recommendations for leveraging digital platforms to promote linguistic identity, support high-quality Uzbek-language content creation, and integrate the language into global knowledge systems. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this study highlights both the opportunities and the challenges posed by digitalization in shaping the future of the Uzbek language.
