Uzbek folk weaving stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions, intricately woven into the fabric of Uzbek culture and heritage. The lexicon associated with this rich tradition reflects a profound interconnection between language and craft. Conversely, English, with its diverse linguistic heritage, offers a unique perspective on weaving terminology. This article aims to undertake a comprehensive comparative analysis of the terminological nuances between Uzbek folk weaving and English-origin terms. Through this exploration, we seek to elucidate the intricate interplay between linguistic expression, cultural context, and craft techniques.
