This study explores the linguistic landscape of the Fergana Valley through a comparative-areal analysis of the doppido lexicon. The Fergana Valley, situated in Central Asia, is known for its rich linguistic diversity, where various languages and dialects coexist. The doppido lexicon, a unique linguistic feature of the region, presents an intriguing opportunity to investigate language contact, borrowing, and evolution within this complex linguistic environment. By examining the doppido lexicon across different languages spoken in the Fergana Valley, this study aims to shed light on the mechanisms of lexical diffusion and adaptation in multilingual settings. Keywords: Fergana Valley, doppido lexicon, comparative-areal study, language contact, lexical diffusion, multilingualism
