The article explores the intensity of cultural connections between the nomadic pastoral population and the settled agricultural population of the Fergana Valley. It examines the interaction between these two population groups and their contribution to enriching each other over a long historical period. The process of assimilating innovations resulting from cultural contacts with other ethnic groups by the settled population is illuminated, as well as their subsequent adoption through cultural exchange with semi-settled and nomadic populations
