The National Phonetic Views of Ashurali 

Zohiri and Elbek 

Abstract

 

At the beginning of the last century, selfless representatives of the 

nation carried out serious works in developing literary norms of the Uzbek 

language, in studying the unique features of our national language, which

has its system of rules and patterns. Jadids realized that for the formation, 

development and recognition of the nation, a normalized literary language  

based on a system of certain rules is needed. Therefore, the main task          

facing the Uzbek intelligentsia was to develop the rules and patterns of 

the Uzbek language, conduct research works in this regard. Of course, they          

understood that this work can be done by accomplishing a rather compli-   

cated, laborious and painstaking work, constantly conducting researches, 

overcoming the various kinds of contradictions that existed at that period. 

They raised the question of what the phonetics of the national   lan-

guage should be  like, since the Uzbek language, like other Turkic languag-

es, had  developed over the centuries according to the principle of synchro-

nism. The article reflects the views of the representatives of  Jadid scholars,  

Ashurali Zohiri and Elbek on the law of synchronism, the con- troversial 

positions regarding the sound of labial vowels and the number of vowels 

in the Uzbek language based on the law of synchronism which highlights 

various positions regarding the vowels.
