Abstract
This article examines the features of the Kyrgyz and English linguistic cultures, their similarities and differences, as well as their influence on the formation of the identity of native speakers. In Kyrgyz culture, the expression of negative emotions such as anger, sadness and fear are often closely associated with traditional values and beliefs. The Kyrgyz language is rich in metaphors and idiomatic expressions that reflect both cultural norms and the historical context of the people
