Kazakh Language Services in the UK

About Our Kazakh Services

Kazakh is a Turkic language of the Kipchak branch and the state language of Kazakhstan. It is spoken by an estimated 13 million people or more, including sizeable communities in China's Xinjiang region, in Mongolia and in parts of Russia and Uzbekistan. Like other Turkic languages it uses vowel harmony and builds words with long chains of suffixes. Its script has changed several times: Arabic script gave way to Latin in the 1920s and then to Cyrillic in 1940, and Kazakhstan is now part-way through an official transition back to a Latin alphabet, while Kazakh speakers in China still write it in Arabic script. Russian remains widely spoken in Kazakhstan alongside Kazakh, particularly in the cities.
