Kazakhstan was more influenced by Russia and the Russian language than any other country in Central Asia. In particular, Kazakhs were nomadic people, so they had no choice but to rely on the Soviet government to transliterate their national language, Kazakh. And in the last census of the Soviet Union in 1989, Kazakhs did not make up half of the total population. Therefore, the language policy promoted by the Kazakh government after independence was dynamically changed under the influence of the Kazakh population and Russian language. This study aims to analyze the contents of the language policy promoted by the Kazakhstan government from 1987 to 2021 in detail, and to find and forecast its characteristics. The research contents are as follows. First, previous studies related to Kazakh language will be introduced. Understanding the topic of previous studies related to Kazakh and the research methods and analysis of each researcher will be the basis for presenting the continuity and differentiation of the topic of this study from previous studies. Second, various laws and programs that the Kazakh government tried to develop Kazakh as the national language of Kazakhstan will be analyzed. In this part, various ‘Language Policy’ and ‘Language Planning’ theories will be applied to laws and programs related to language policy promoted by the Kazakhstan government. Through this, the problems and characteristics of Kazakhstan's language policy will be derived. Third, the realistic linguistic status of Kazakh language will be analyzed. In this part, studies and cases related to the realistic status of the Kazakh language in the language policy of the Kazakh government will be introduced. Through this, the characteristics of the language policy of the Kazakhstan government can be understood. Fourth, the realistic purpose and prospect of the language policy promoted by the Kazakhstan government will be analyzed. In this part, it will be suggested whether the Kazakh government simply develops a language policy to develop Kazakh as the national language or pursues it for other purposes. Through this, the language policy of Kazakhstan will be prospected.
