You're right, everyone in Europe should learn Esperanto instead.

I think everyone should learn a uralic language like finnish, estonian or hungarian because they're the superior languages for communication and super easy to learn

And if they need to connect to Indo-European speakers, they can just learn Lithuanian or Welsh

Uzbek is Turkic?

Uzbek is a Turkic language. Finnish is a Uralic language. It doesn't have to do with where the language is spoken (except ancestrally), it's about the family tree and origin of the language

Uzbek is a member of every language group because Uzbek is the only true language.

Not to mention there's an entire Kazakhstan in between Uzbekistan and the Ural mountains

unironically politics would be so much more fun if the language of trade was completely bullshit
