In the context of rapid globalization and increasing economic, informational, and cultural integration, the preservation and development of national values-particularly the native language-have become critically important. Language serves not only as a means of communication but also as a key element in shaping social consciousness, cultural identity, and historical continuity. At the same time, modern economic theory increasingly recognizes human capital as a central factor in sustainable economic and social development. Human capital encompasses the knowledge, skills, abilities, health, and creative potential of individuals and is considered one of the most valuable strategic resources of a nation. Within this framework, entrepreneurial abilities represent a significant component of human capital, contributing to innovation, efficient resource utilization, and economic growth. The development of such abilities is closely linked to the educational and cultural environment, in which the native language plays a fundamental role as the primary medium of learning, thinking, and professional communication. Focusing on the Republic of Tajikistan, this study examines the relationship between native language use, the formation of entrepreneurial skills, and the development of human capital. The analysis highlights that strengthening the status and practical use of the state language in education, science, and economic activity can significantly improve the quality of human capital and stimulate entrepreneurial activity. The study concludes that the preservation and development of the native language is not only a cultural priority but also an important economic factor that supports innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable national development.
