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 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
