In the era of globalization, interaction between languages with different typological structures has become an increasingly significant subject in linguistics. International education, digital communication, migration, trade, and cultural exchange bring speakers of different languages into regular contact. This article explores the relationship between languages of different typological systems, focusing on English and Uzbek as examples of languages with distinct grammatical profiles. English is a Germanic language with a largely analytic structure, while Uzbek is a Turkic language characterized predominantly by agglutination. The article considers how these differences appear in morphology, syntax, phonetics, and vocabulary, and examines the effects of language contact, borrowing, bilingualism, and translation. A descriptive-comparative approach is used to illustrate structural contrasts and their relevance to language learning and intercultural communication. The discussion argues that globalization encourages linguistic exchange and creates educational opportunities, but it also makes language planning and the protection of linguistic diversity increasingly important. Effective multilingualism should therefore combine openness to international communication with sustained support for national languages.
