Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Uzbek uses a 29-letter Latin alphabet; remember that special characters like 'o'' and 'g'' are distinct letters, not just accented versions.

  • Each letter represents one sound: 'A' is always 'ah' as in 'father'.
  • Special letters like 'o'' and 'g'' are separate entries in the dictionary.
  • The letter 'c' is only used in the combination 'ch' or 'sh'.
Letter + Sound = Consistent Pronunciation

Key Special Letters

Letter Pronunciation Example
O'
Like 'o' in door
O'zbek
G'
Voiced velar fricative
G'alaba
Sh
Like 'sh' in ship
Shahar
Ch
Like 'ch' in chair
Choy
Ng
Like 'ng' in song
Boring
I
Like 'ee' in see
