Kazakhlanguage

Kazakhlanguage is a constructed language designed to explore Turkic linguistics while evoking features of Kazakh. It was developed by a linguist as a typological project and has since circulated among worldbuilding and conlang communities. The language is presented as a Turkic language with typical agglutinative morphology, vowel harmony, and an SOV (subject–object–verb) word order.

Phonology and writing: Kazakhlanguage incorporates a vowel harmony system with front and back vowels and a consonant inventory that includes stops, fricatives, and affricates common in Turkic languages. The official writing system is Latin-based, with diacritics to mark vowel quality; variants for Cyrillic and Arabic scripts are described for compatibility with related languages.

Grammar: Nouns take case endings and are commonly followed by postpositions rather than prepositions. The case system mirrors many Turkic patterns, including nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, and ablative. Verbs are morphologically rich, using suffix chains to mark tense, aspect, mood, negation, voice, and person; evidentiality is represented in some dialects of the project. Adjectives precede nouns and inflection agrees via suffixes rather than adjectives.

Lexicon and style: The core lexicon draws on Turkic roots with systematic affixation for new terms; loanwords are limited and integrated through native derivation rules. The language is primarily used for study, experimentation, and creative worldbuilding.

Status: There are no native speakers; readers and learners encounter Kazakhlanguage through grammars, lexicons, and sample texts. It serves as a case study in Turkic-type phonology and agglutinative morphology rather than as a communicative community language.
