Some actual problems related to Uzbek toponymy
Abstract
Nomenclature is a separate system, just as linguistics is a whole system. The history and destiny of the people and the country is expressed in place names. Place names are one of the unique monuments of peoples, nations and peoples with ancient history. The reason is that they represent a world of history and destiny. To this day, toponyms of Uzbekistan have been recorded mainly in general, linguistic, geographical and historical directions and studied descriptively and interpretatively. Although the interpretation of the toponyms of our country under the influence of these trends is a rather broad tradition, little attention has been paid to the study of their etymological analysis. Scientific works on the toponyms of our country went from a simple linguistic and geographical description to an explanatory description and classification. However, due to the fact that the etymological analysis of toponyms was neglected and the standards of their etymological research were not paid attention to, the etymological analysis of place names was not perfect from today's point of view.
