Although Kazakh speakers can be found throughout Central Asia, it is essentially only spoken in great
numbers in Kazakhstan. Although its roots are as a Turkic language, Soviet
legacy has made
the
supported
by EUROBAK
Cyrillic alphabet the current means of writing the language. Nevertheless, there are ambitions by

script, as a second official language in Kazakhstan may counter any such push.
