ARCHAEOLOGY OF LANGUAGE AND ONTOLOGICAL ETYMOLOGY: A FUNDAMENTAL STUDY OF THE "ODAM TILI" THEORY BY DR. MAHMUDJON KUCHKAROV

This article examines the theoretical foundations of the “Odam Tili” (Human Language) theory developed by Dr. Mahmudjon Kuchkarov and explores its implications for the archaeology of language and ontological etymology. The study focuses on the concept that linguistic sounds are not arbitrary signs but reflections of natural processes and human interaction with the physical environment. The analysis is based on materials from the Odam Tili Academy and academic publications related to phono-semantics and sign-semantics. Particular attention is given to the ontological structure of key linguistic units such as the primary vowel “A,” as well as phonosemantic elements /y/, /s/, /w/, and /n/. The article also analyzes the semantic reconstruction of words such as “Ray,” “Kray,” “Cry,” “Why,” “Bay,” “Buy,” and “Nega.” The research demonstrates that the Odam Tili theory proposes a new paradigm in linguistics by linking sound structures with hydrological, biological, and spatial phenomena observed by early human communities. The findings indicate that language can be understood as an archaeological system preserving traces of ancient human cognition and environmental perception.
