This paper analyzes the phonetic system of the Uzbek language, focusing on its distinctive features and pronunciation norms. Based on the IMRAD structure, the study investigates the stability of phonetic units, the influence of dialects, and recent tendencies in pronunciation. The findings indicate that despite external influences, the Uzbek phonetic system maintains its national identity, while modern communication and media have introduced new tendencies in articulation and accentuation.
