Kazakhstan Map | HD Political Map of Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan, formally known as the Republic of Kazakhstan, is a transcontinental nation mostly in Central Asia and a small portion of Eastern Europe. The ten largest nations in the world include Kazakhstan. It is well-known for its wild horses, the Caspian Sea, and architectural wonders.

Astana, also known as Nur-Sultan from 2019 to 2022, is the nation's capital. Up until 1997, Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, served as the nation's capital. The ninth-largest nation in the world, Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked nation on the planet, the largest and most northern nation with a majority of Muslims. Its 19 million residents live there in one of the world's lowest population densities—less than 6 people per square kilometer.

History:

Nomadic tribes were the first people to live in Kazakhstan. The Mongol Empire invaded the region in the thirteenth century, and the Kazakh Khanate claimed it as its own. In this period, the Great Silk Road's trading cities of Taraz and Turkestan were founded. Kazakhstan became an independent sovereign state in 1991 as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Culture:

The effects of nearly two centuries of close contact with Russians are probably more apparent in Kazakhs than in any other Central Asian people. Kazakhs look more to Russia than to Islamic nations for inspiration in the post-Soviet era, in contrast to Central Asians to their south. Up until the 19th century, the majority of illiterate Kazakhs produced oral epics as their primary literary form. Poetry remained the dominant genre until the early 20th century, when prose stories, short novels, and drama were introduced.

Language:

Kazakhs speak the Turkic language known as Qazaq, which belongs to the Kipchak branch, in Central Asia. It shares a close relationship with Nogai, Kyrgyz, and Karakalpak. The Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, northwest China, and the Bayan-login Province of western Mongolia both speak it as a significant minority language. It is the official language of Kazakhstan. Numerous Kazakhs of ethnicity speak it throughout the former Soviet Union.

Geography:

With 14% of its territory in Eastern Europe, Kazakhstan is primarily in Central Asia. With a total area of about 2,724,900 square kilometers, Kazakhstan is more than twice as large as the other four Central Asian nations put together and are 60% bigger than Alaska. Russia to the north, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan to the south, China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to the east, and Russia and the Caspian Sea to the west are the nations that border Tajikistan.
