The status of the state language is clearly and precisely defined within the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Constitution states that "the state language of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the Kazakh language", and its special place in the life of the country is constitutionally established.
Determining the status of the state language is one of the main features of an independent state. The Kazakh language is used as the main language in the spheres of state administration, legislation, judicial proceedings and administrative work. This norm is aimed at strengthening the integrity of the country, preserving national identity and ensuring social harmony.
The new Constitution prioritizes increasing the role of the state language in public life. It lays a legal foundation for the development and expansion of the use of the Kazakh language in the activities of state bodies and organizations. It also clearly states that citizens are guaranteed the free mastery and use of languages.
The constitutional confirmation of the status of the state language is a strategic step towards the future of the country. It is an important decision towards the glorification of national values, preservation of historical continuity, and strengthening of independence.
Thus, the clear indication of the state language in the New Constitution is an important component of Kazakhstan's development as a legal state.
