Key characteristics of the Kazakh language

Kazakh translation produced with Central Asia language teams, terminology control, and Fora's quality workflow.

Belongs to the Kipchak branch of the Turkic languages, close to Kyrgyz, Tatar and others in the group.

Vowels in suffixes agree with the vowels of the word stem — a hallmark of the Turkic languages.

Words are built by adding suffixes to a stem, allowing complex meanings to be expressed.

Uses a modified Cyrillic alphabet; Kazakhstan is transitioning to a Latin-based script.

Reflects a nomadic heritage, with oral poetry, epics and sayings central to the culture.

Dialectal differences exist within the country and among Kazakh-speaking communities abroad.
