Abstract: English loanwords have become a notable feature of modern Russian and Uzbek, attracting theattention of both linguists and the wider public. Studies show that Anglicisms are part of a broader historical andsociolinguistic process: they entered Russian and Uzbek at different stages, gradually adapted to the structuralnorms of each language, and increasingly derive from American English, which today serves as one of themajor sources of new vocabulary across the post-Soviet space.Although English borrowings often appear rapidly and in large numbers, Russian and Uzbek actively adaptthem phonologically, morphologically, and semantically, making many of them sound almost native [6]. Ratherthan weakening linguistic identity, these borrowings demonstrate how both languages continue to develop,respond to global communication needs, and adapt to technological change [5].
