Uzbek
Or Ubykh.
Hmm, interesting. Do you have reasons, or was that just a random choice? I know pretty little about it. Actually, I'm not even sure if it's Turkic or Persian or something else.
Maybe wrong, but I believe this is from a language learning sub on reddit where people would ask what language they should learn without any other qualifiers. It was asked so frequently that people just started replying Uzbekistani.
Again, that's my memory of it, could be wrong.
Could be! Like "under the laws of Saudi Arabia..." in the legal advice community.
I assume people asking legal advice but not specifying where they are?
Yup. Jurisdiction is very important, but a lot of people seem to have never considered it.
And if you're not aware, Saudi is still a medieval-style absolute monarchy with public beheadings for, like, adultery. ^(And^ ^a^ ^valued^ ^Western^ ^ally)^
I knew things were grim, but that's worse than I thought!

If you want to brave Reddit
As piwakawakas said, Uzbek is a meme.
