02 · NamesU+02BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA

Oʻzbekiston, Ўзбекистон and Usbekistan

Uzbekistan is Oʻzbekiston in Uzbek Latin and Ўзбекистон in Cyrillic, the land of the Uzbeks. Some scholars connect the people's name with Özbeg Khan, ruler of the Golden Horde. The Turkic neighbours keep the rounded first vowel: Kazakh and Kyrgyz Өзбекстан, Turkmen Özbegistan, Turkish Özbekistan and Karakalpak Oʻzbekstan.

Further away the vowel opens. Russian and most languages written in Cyrillic say Узбекистан, Uzbekistan, French Ouzbékistan, Dutch Oezbekistan and German Usbekistan, which shares its spelling with the Scandinavian languages. Persian writes ازبکستان, Ozbakestân, and Arabic records four spellings from أوزبكستان to أزباكستان.

The country changed alphabets in 1993, when it returned from Cyrillic to Latin; the Latin letters were modified in 1996. Both scripts are still in use, so the card, the region table and the exonym list give Uzbek in each, together with the Arabic-script spelling used before the 1920s.

Tashkent and Samarkand show how place names travel between Turkic and Persian. Uzbek Toshkent is Тошканд in Tajik and طشقند in Arabic, while Samarqand keeps nearly one form from Persian سمرقند to Hindi समरक़न्द.

Tashkent itself appears twice at the first level of ISO 3166-2:UZ: the capital as the city UZ-TK, and the region around it as UZ-TO, which has been run from Nurafshon since 2017.
