Uzbek belongs to the Turkic language family, more specifically to the Karluk subgroup. It is the official language of Uzbekistan, and it is also spoken by Uzbek minority communities in Afghanistan and other surrounding countries. Today, Uzbek is primarily written using the Latin script, although the Cyrillic script is still in use among some populations. It is estimated that there are between 30 and 40 million speakers worldwide.
