This article examines the patterns and strategies of convergences in language borrowing, focusing on the incorporation of borrowed words into the Uzbek language. The study explores the phonetic adaptation, orthographic adjustment, semantic extension, morphological adaptation, and loan translation techniques employed by Uzbek speakers to accommodate borrowed words containing sounds not present in the native phonetic inventory. The article emphasizes the adaptability and creativity of Uzbek speakers in integrating borrowed vocabulary while maintaining the integrity of their linguistic system. By analyzing these adaptation patterns, researchers gain insights into the dynamic processes of language contact and borrowing. The article also discusses the broader implications of studying convergences, highlighting their contribution to our understanding of language evolution and the resilience of languages in the face of linguistic diversity. Overall, this research deepens our understanding of how languages adapt and evolve through borrowing processes, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of linguistic convergence in the context of Uzbek and beyond.
