Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan (alternately Uzbekstan or Ozbekistan), officially the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: OÔzbekiston Respublikasi or OÔzbekiston Jumhuriyati), is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, formerly part of the Soviet Union. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. The only official language, Uzbek, is a Turkic language, but Russian continues to be widely used, a holdover from Soviet rule. About 1 million Tajiks, an ethnic group closely related to the Persians, inhabit Uzbekistan, making up approximately 4.8% of the population. The word Ozbek consists of oz ("real/original/true") and bek ("leaders/nobles").
