Abstract
This article examines the influence and adaptation of Arabic-origin words in Khorezm dialects, highlighting their phonetic and semantic variations from their literary Uzbek counterparts. The study identifies and categorizes these words into basic and derived forms, as well as semantic dialectal variations. Particular attention is given to the cultural, historical, and linguistic significance of Arabic words that have undergone semantic shifts to reflect local expressions and traditions. Examples such as bodiya (“desert”) evolving into badya (“clay bowl”) and other terms like vapir, talxiyn, and valatizina illustrate the dynamic interplay between Arabic lexicon and the linguistic environment of Khorezm. The article underscores the enduring relevance of Arabic lexical layers in shaping Uzbek dialects and the broader cultural landscape.
Keywords: Khorezm dialects, Arabic lexicon, phonetic adaptation, semantic variation, linguistic influence, cultural integration, lexical layers, Old Uzbek, language evolution, etymological analysis.
