Every year on October 21, the Republic of Uzbekistan widely celebrates the Day of the Uzbek Language. This date symbolizes the granting of official status to the Uzbek language as the state language and serves as a vivid reflection of our national values, as well as deep respect and reverence for our mother tongue.
On this occasion, the University of Digital Economy and Agrotechnologies organized a large-scale dictation event under the slogan “Language — the Mirror of the Nation” on October 21, 2025. The main purpose of this event was to strengthen the feelings of love and loyalty to the native language among young people, improve their spelling literacy, and further enhance the prestige of the Uzbek language as the state language.
University students actively participated in the mass dictation, which was organized by the Department for Youth Affairs, Spirituality, and Enlightenment. The dictation text was selected from works that reflect the beauty, expressive richness, and national values of the Uzbek language.
During the dictation, participants demonstrated their knowledge and skills by adhering to the norms of literary language. At the end of the event, the students’ written works were analyzed and evaluated by teachers based on spelling accuracy and writing style. Those who achieved the highest results and wrote clearly and correctly were awarded certificates of honor and memorable gifts.
Throughout the event, participants discussed the role of the native language in society, its deep historical roots, and its significance as a symbol of an independent nation. Teachers and students emphasized the importance of preserving, developing, and promoting the Uzbek language while fostering a sense of national pride among the youth.
The mass dictation served not only to assess students’ literacy levels but also to help them better understand the subtleties of their native tongue and cultivate proper writing and speaking culture. By the end of the event, participants once again felt the immense expressive power, beauty, and spiritual strength of the Uzbek language.
This mass dictation became an important spiritual and educational event aimed at strengthening love for the mother tongue, national pride, and patriotism in the hearts of young people, while promoting the idea that “Respect for the language means respect for the nation.”
In addition, on the occasion of the Day of the Uzbek Language, a cultural and educational event was held with students at the Writers’ Alley, near the monument of Abdulla Oripov — the People’s Poet of Uzbekistan, recipient of the title “Hero of Uzbekistan,” and a renowned poet, translator, and public figure.
