Modern Kazakh is a Turkic language on the Kipchak branch and is thought to have originated around 1465 A.D. during the formation of the Kazakh Khanate. Kazakh is thought to be descended from 2 different Turkic languages - Kipchak and Chagatay. The language has deep historical roots in Central Asia. It evolved from the common Turkic language spoken by the nomadic tribes that inhabited the region for centuries. Over time, these tribes began to develop distinct dialects, and by the 15th century, the Kazakh language emerged as a separate branch within the Kipchak group of Turkic languages. Throughout its history, Kazakh has been influenced by a range of neighboring languages, including Arabic, Persian, and Russian, due to the region's political and cultural interactions with various empires and civilizations.

​

The language underwent significant changes during the 20th century, particularly under Soviet rule. In the 1920s, Kazakhstan adopted the Latin alphabet, but in the 1940s, it switched to the Cyrillic script, which is still used today. During the Soviet era, Russian became the dominant language for administration and education, which affected the use of Kazakh in formal and public life. However, following Kazakhstan’s independence in 1991, there has been a strong push to revitalize the Kazakh language, including efforts to shift back to the Latin alphabet, promote Kazakh-language education, and ensure its use in governmental affairs. The language remains an important part of Kazakhstan's national identity. Kazakh is the official language of Kazakhstan and there are about 17 million speakers. Until 1929, Kazakh was written using the Arabic script; now Kazakh is written using Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
