TRANSLATION OF ETHNOCULTURAL UNIONS IN THE HARMONIZATION PROCESS OF ANCIENT UZBEK BELIEFS: A STUDY OF ZOROASTRIANISM, TENGRIISM, SHAMANISM, AND BEYOND

This article explores the intricate process by which ancient Uzbek belief systems—including Zoroastrianism, Tengriism, shamanism, and related traditions—have intermingled over centuries, forming a unique cultural synthesis among various ethnonational unions. The study investigates the historical interactions and socio-religious dynamics that facilitated this harmonization, and it examines the challenges associated with translating these culturally rich traditions into English. By applying an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses history, religious studies, and translation theory, this paper provides insights into terminological precision, cultural context, and translation strategies necessary for an accurate and respectful representation of these beliefs in the global scholarly discourse.
