This article presents a scientific approach to the formal (algorithmic) modeling of the phonetic system of the Uzbek language. The study is based on the system of distinctive features, which enables the structural and functional classification of phonemes. The paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations of phonemes are identified and formalized through a distinctive-feature matrix. The minimal differentiating properties of phonemes are algorithmically represented within a set of formal rules. At the experimental stage, the acoustic parameters of phonemes (frequency, amplitude, formants) were analyzed instrumentally, and their phonological values were specified. The results of the study contribute to a deeper understanding of phonological processes, the digitization of the phonetic system, and the expansion of applications in speech-processing technologies. The proposed methodology provides both theoretical and practical foundations for integrating the phonological model of the Uzbek language with universal phonetic-phonological frameworks and for its implementation in linguistic technologies.
