This article analyzes the semantic and cultural interpretations of signs and symbols in the linguistics of Uzbekistan and India. The study shows the similarities and differences of symbols in the language system of the two peoples based on semiotic and linguocultural approaches. If in the Uzbek language such symbols as «oq», «bulbul», «non-tuz», «quyosh» reflect national values, moral principles, and people's thinking, then in the Hindi language such symbols as «lotus», «om», «Surya», «karma» express spiritual awakening, religious and philosophical meanings. As a result of a comparative analysis, it was established that signs and symbols occupy an important place in both cultures as a symbolic expression of the spiritual world of man, national identity, and social memory. The results of the article contribute to a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between language, culture, and thinking, as well as the correct interpretation of semantic differences in intercultural communication
