A remarkable event took place 25 years ago – on September 22, 1989 the Kazakh language was declared a state language of Kazakhstan, azh.kz reports. The Russian language was given the status of “an inter-ethnic language”.
Later the RoK Constitution defined that the ”the Russian language may be used officially on an equal basis with the Kazakh. In accordance with Presidential Decree every third Sunday in September was approved as the Day of languages of the people of Kazakhstan. The holiday was timed to the law "On languages" approved in Kazakhstan 25 years ago.
Currently along with the Kazakh language in Kazakhstan's schools the children are taught more than 10 national languages of the peoples living in our country. Kazakh is a Turkic language of the Kypchak group (along with Nogai, Karakalpak, Karachai-Balkar, Koumyk, Karaim, Krimean-Tatar, Karagash, Tatar, Bashkir). Together with Nogai, Karakalpak and Karagash languages the Kazakh language falls into Kypchak-Nagai branch.
