Rego Park and Kew Gardens in Queens host one of the largest Uzbek and Bukharian communities in the United States, and it has grown quickly.

Uzbek has been written in several scripts within living memory — Cyrillic for older speakers educated in the Soviet period, Latin for those schooled after independence, and Arabic script historically. Documents may arrive in any of them.

Many Uzbek speakers also have Russian, and are routinely booked a Russian interpreter by default. For older speakers this is often fine; for younger ones educated after 1991, Russian may be weak. Confirm rather than assume. Bukharian Jewish community members may also speak Bukhori, a distinct Judeo-Tajik variety.
