BETWEEN TONGUES: A DEEP COMPARATIVE LOOK AT ENGLISH AND KARAKALPAK LANGUAGES
Abstract
In today's globalized era, where borders are increasingly blurred by technology and communication, language remains one of the most defining aspects of our identity. As a specialist in English language and literature living in a culturally rich region like Karakalpakstan, I find myself at the crossroads of two remarkable languages: English—a global giant—and Karakalpak—an indigenous gem.
