Linguist, how would you describe the impact of language on the nation, state and society?

- You know not one, but several foreign languages ​​perfectly. Is it an innate ability or a product of hard work? What advice can you give to language learners?

- Learning a foreign language is more important than having a “good impression” biography or a tool that you can use when traveling. It makes you a smarter, quicker decision maker and even increases your ability to communicate. Psychological research has also shown the benefits of speaking two or more languages. The brain of a person who speaks two languages ​​works differently than that of a person who speaks one language. French was the first foreign language I learned in high school, and when I was in 9th grade, I started learning English. I would spend at least six hours of class time talking, learning interview techniques, reading, and preparing presentations. I read different books every day. Ba ' the zan man's imagination is overwhelmed by the idea that the whole world has conspired against him and that learning a foreign language is not written on your forehead. Disappointments disappear over time, and it is important to continue learning without losing the desire to learn the language. Those who have successfully learned a foreign language also struggle with such thoughts - because I have personally experienced this in the process of learning many languages. I made it a rule to do something every day. Constant speaking from the time I started learning is very important and so I have reached the level of perfect speaking in another language in a relatively short period of time. Before I started learning another language, I tried to get to a higher level in the previous language - that’s how I was able to learn so many languages. It's a pity, some of the language teaching methods used today are just lessons that waste students ’time and money. I would like language teachers to pay more attention to communication skills and competencies when teaching a foreign language, rather than reading the literature and analyzing grammatical rules in detail. Such lessons focus on reading and writing, with little or no consistent attention paid to speaking and listening comprehension.

- Today there are about 6,000 languages, and only about 100 have the status of literary and national languages. What advantages do you think languages ​​with literary language status have?

- Literary language is the most acceptable and pure version of this language. Typically, this language is not the language spoken by the majority of the population because people are constantly discovering its various manifestations, but the advantage of literary language is that it documents, in other words, when dialect is used by one generation and forgotten by another, the language is preserved. Linguistic dialects are specific to indigenous groups and are passed orally without being preserved in writing.

Today there are about six thousand languages ​​and dialects in the world, but only about a hundred of them have the status of the state language. It is our happiness and pride that the Uzbek language is among them. The adoption of the Law on the State Language on October 21, 1989, when the former regime still existed, was a great courage in our self-realization. Accordingly, the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan clearly defines the legal status of the Uzbek language as the state language. Thus, the Uzbek language has become one of the sacred symbols of our independent state, which is protected by law, along with the flag, coat of arms, anthem, Constitution.

It has been 30 years since the Uzbek language was given the status of the state language. Unfortunately, the Uzbek language has not yet developed in all respects, and has not fully developed in line with the requirements of the time and technology. According to the requirements of coverage and analysis of the changes of the 21st century, the science of Uzbek linguistics should have been constantly changing and evolving, but to what extent has it been able to do so? After all, the main task of Uzbek linguistics at all times was to analyze and study the ways of formation, development and improvement of the literary language, the laws, causes and possibilities that apply to it.

As we look at the history of the peoples of the world, especially in the 20th century, it is not surprising that many of them began their struggle for national independence by struggling to give their mother tongue the status of a state language. In particular, in countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, which were colonies of Britain, France in Africa, and Spain in the United States, the first struggle for independence began with the struggle to give their mother tongue the status of a state language. But, unfortunately, not all of them have yet achieved their goal. English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese are still the official languages ​​of some countries.
