On the study of the vocalism of the Uzbek language Iqon dialect

It is stated in many sources that Uzbek dialects have a complex structure. In particular, Uzbek dialects outside the Republic of Uzbekistan are more complex and unique, ie they belong to different groups. For ex-ample, to such groups we can include the northern Uzbek dialects, which have a relatively small area, namely dialects of the Karluk, Kipchak, and Oghuz dialects. The Ikan dialect belongs to the Oghuz dialect, which was researched by the scientist Y.D. Polivanov, but the works were not conti- nued after him. Almost a century has passed since the publication of Y.D. Polivanov's article regarding the given dialect, during this period, though slowly, certain changes may have occured in the dialect. Q. Muhammad-janov expressed some views on this dialect during the study of northern Uzbek dialects, but it was not included as the research object. This article describes the system of vowels and consonants of Ikan dialect in relation to other dialects in the region, the distribution of phonetic features in oth-er dialects, phonetic processes in the dialect, the geography of dialectal sounds.
