Language is an integral part of our delegation; it forms the identity of the community and society. To play a creative language in the contemporary world, contemporary is one of the most important components of an ugly person. At least a creative language knowledge expands a person's worldview. Social media can be used as a tool to protect and develop the language, but for this it is necessary to use the language carefully and consciously. Today, social media has become the perfect platform to spread news, friends and events. For this reason, there have been great changes in the way people relate to each other, which have had a significant impact on language use. Users prefer to use this language for frequent and easy communication. At the same time, the correct use of language has a positive effect on their personal and brand image. In addition, the use of language on social media has its drawbacks. Thus, excessive use of social media language can harm language and reduce cultural richness. We can conclude that the role of foreign languages in social networks is indispensable, but care must be taken when using them.
