Emblem Of Kazakhstan
The emblem of Kazakhstan () was adopted on 4 June 1992. The designers of the emblem are Jandarbek Melibekov and . About 245 projects and 67 description designs of the future arms took part in the final competition. Like other post-Soviet republics whose symbols do not predate the October Revolution, the current emblem retains some components of the Soviet one, in this case, rising sun rays and star. Prior to 1992, Kazakhstan had an emblem similar to all other Soviet Republics. In March 2024, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced that the emblem would soon be changed because of its complicated and "Soviet-like" design. The new emblem will be decided through a contest. Overview The emblem is an image of a shanyrak (, ''Şañyraq''; more often seen in the Russian transcription, Шанырак, ''shanyrak''), the upper dome-like portion of a yurt, against a sky blue background which irradiates (in the form of sun rays) uyks (supports) set off by wings of mythical horses, inspi ...

Kazakh Alphabets
The Kazakh language was written mainly in four scripts at various points of time – Old Turkic script, Old Turkic, Cyrillic script, Cyrillic, Latin script, Latin, and Arabic script, Arabic – each having a distinct alphabet. The Arabic script is used in Iran, Afghanistan, and China, while the Cyrillic script is used in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Mongolia. In October 2017, a presidential decree in Kazakhstan ordered a transition from the Cyrillic to Latin script to be implemented by 2025. In January 2021, the target year for finishing the transition was pushed back to 2031. History During the Soviet era, majority use of Arabic script was first replaced by a new Latin-based script, before being abruptly switched to Cyrillic-based script just decades later. This was likely in part due to weakening Turkish–Soviet relations after the Turkish Straits crisis. In effort to consolidate its national identity, Kazakhstan started a phased transition from the Cyrillic alphabet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flag Of Kazakhstan
The flag of Kazakhstan was adopted on 4 June 1992, replacing the Soviet-era flag. The flag was designed by Shaken Niyazbekov. Description The national flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan has a gold sun with 32 rays above a soaring golden steppe eagle, both centered on a turquoise background; the hoist side displays a national ornamental pattern called "koshkar-muiz" (the horns of the ram) in gold; the blue colour is of religious significance to the Turkic peoples of the country, and so symbolises cultural and ethnic unity; it also represents the endless sky as well as water. The gold and blue colours also evoke the former Soviet flag, reusing the gold from the hammer and sickle, and the shade of blue from the turquoise bar at the bottom of that flag. The sun, a source of life and energy, exemplifies wealth and plenitude; the sun's rays are shaped like grain, which is the basis of abundance and prosperity; the eagle has appeared on the flags of Kazakh tribes for centuries ...

Kazakh Language
Kazakh is a Turkic language of the Kipchak branch spoken in Central Asia by Kazakhs. It is closely related to Nogai, Kyrgyz and Karakalpak. It is the official language of Kazakhstan, and has official status in the Altai Republic of Russia. It is also a significant minority language in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, China, and in the Bayan-Ölgii Province of western Mongolia. The language is also spoken by many ethnic Kazakhs throughout the former Soviet Union (some 472,000 in Russia according to the 2010 Russian census), Germany, and Turkey. Like other Turkic languages, Kazakh is an agglutinative language and employs vowel harmony. Kazakh builds words by adding suffixes one after another to the word stem, with each suffix expressing only one unique meaning and following a fixed sequence. ''Ethnologue'' recognizes three mutually intelligible dialect groups: Northeastern Kazakh—the most widely spoken variety, which also serves as the basis for the o ...

Tulpar
Tulpar is a legendary winged or celestial horse in Turkic mythology, akin to the Greek Pegasus. This mythical creature is prominently featured in the state emblems of Kazakhstan and Bashkortostan. The origins of Tulpar are intertwined with the hunting traditions of Central Asian peoples, who used horses in conjunction with birds of prey. Over time, these two animals merged in the human imagination, creating the winged horse known as Tulpar. The wings of Tulpar were not necessarily for flight but symbolized its unparalleled speed. This mythical horse has been immortalized in various cultural symbols. For instance, the emblem of Kazakhstan includes two golden Tulpars, a yurt's top, and sun rays on a blue background symbolizing the sky where Tulpars gallop. Tulpar is deeply embedded in the cultural heritage of Turkic-speaking nations, including Turks, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz. The Heavenly Horse, known as Tulpar in Turkic mythology, embodies swiftness, elegance, and deep cultur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
