The Talking Uzbek Phrasebook

Below, you will find several useful phrases and words. To the left is the English and to the far right is the Uzbek translation. Uzbek is currently transitioning from the Cyrillic script to Latin. While Cyrillic is common in Uzbekistan, Latin is the official script.

In the center of each row is a play button that will play a recorded file of the English and Uzbek words. (Except in “Counting,” whose audio files have been grouped into three sets.)
