Abstract

Astana is a culturally developing young capital of Kazakhstan. Various ethnic communities as Kazakhs, Russians, Ukrainians, Tatars, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Jews, Belarusians, Georgians, Moldovans, Tajiks, Uzbeks, and others live in Kazakhstan. Many languages function and coexist. The city can rightly be called multi-ethnic because its community is heterogeneous. Despite the peculiar ethnic composition and linguistic configuration, the study of functioning language policy in Kazakhstan has been limitedly researched. The purpose of the study is to examine the linguistic landscape of Astana city to the current language policy and linguistic reality. In other words, by examining the linguistic landscape, the research aims at exploring the implementation of the current language policy in Astana and functioning of Kazakh, Russian and English languages displayed on the public road signs, advertising billboards, street names, place names, commercial shop signs, and public signs on government buildings.
