Noticing that the German version of this article had a lot more text, I have tried to translate some of it. However, I struggled with some of the details, particularly the list of peoples of whom Kazakhstan is made up (many of the referenced articles had no translation links):

"es steht aber auch als Zeichen, dass das Volk der Kasachen hauptsächlich aus einer Verschmelzung der mittelasiatischen Kimek, Türgesch, Tschigil, Scha-t'o, Uiguren und Naimanen mit den Mongolen entstanden ist."

I also haven't attempted the "history" section, since it would require getting to know far more about the topic in order to do it justice. Hopefully either someone can improve on my efforts, or the article can be expanded from other English sources. - IMSoP 17:20, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)


The Hebrew version of this article was Wikipedia's 1,000,000th, between all languages. -- user:zanimum


Hasn't it got 33 rays instead of 32?

I want to add, that the German article sais in the middle there is a "Falke" (means Falcon) but the English version of this article sais it is an eagle (german: Adler)...

The bird is the Golden Eagle, which incidentally can be trained in falconry. Selerian (talk) 23:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
