Kazakhstan is a multiethnic country where the indigenous ethnic group, the Kazakhs, comprise the majority of the population. As of 2021, the population of Kazakhstan is 69% Kazakhs, 15.5% Russians, 3% Uzbeks, 2.5% Ukrainians, 1.5% Uyghurs and 1.1% Tatars. The official language of Kazakhstan is Kazakh. Kazakh language is used on coequal grounds. Yet Kazakhstan is suffering from lack of culture. Most of younger kazakh generation in Kazakhstan do not know kazakh language because of the (overuse) of russian language, since it progressively turning into main language of Kazakhstan (especially the Northern Kazakhstan). Kazakhs slowly started to forget they're own language, Which could result major consequences in the future. [1]
