On October 21, 1989, the Law "On the State Language" was adopted in the republic to determine the legal basis for the state language, according to which the Uzbek language was given the status of the state language.

  According to Article 1 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the Establishment of the Day of the Uzbek Language", adopted on April 10, 2020, October 21 became the "Day of the Uzbek Language".

  In connection with the 35th anniversary of assigning the status of the state language to the Uzbek language, a number of cultural and educational events dedicated to the celebration of this date are organized throughout the republic.

  In this regard, on October 21 of this year, a festive meeting on the theme "Language is the pride of the nation" was held at the Samarkand State Medical University with the participation of employees and students of the Department of "Uzbek Language and Literature with the Russian Language". The meeting was attended by teachers and students of the university faculties.
