There are no special linguistic studies on Turkish and Uzbek proverbs in national Turkology. Meanwhile, in traditional Eastern cultures in general and in Turkish in particular, proverbs play a much greater role in people's speech behavior and in written literary texts than in modern Western culture. The study of Turkish and Uzbek proverbs not only as versatile works of culture, but also as linguistic phenomena proper is also relevant because proverbs reveal in their structure unique features of text construction, reflecting a peculiar fusion of patterns of both written and colloquial speech.
