State symbols
The national flag of independent Kazakhstan was officially adopted in 1992. Its author is the artist Shaken Niyazbekov.
The image of the sun, its rays, an eagle and the national ornament is the color of gold. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 1:2. The national flag of independent Kazakhstan was officially adopted in 1992. Its author is the artist Shaken Niyazbekov.
The term "flag" comes from the Dutch word "vlag". A flag is a panel of fixed sizes and colors attached to a pole or cord, usually with a coat of arms or emblem on it. Since ancient times, the flag has served the function of uniting the people of the country and identifying them with a certain state entity.
In the traditions of heraldry, each color symbolizes a certain concept. So, the sky-blue color symbolizes honesty, loyalty and perfection. In addition, the sky-blue color has a deep symbolic meaning in the Turkic culture. The ancient Turks always revered the sky as their father god, and their sky-blue banner symbolized devotion to the ancestral father. On the national flag of Kazakhstan, it symbolizes a clear sky, peace and prosperity, and the monocolor background – the unity of our country.
Based on heraldic canons, the sun symbolizes wealth and abundance, life and energy. Therefore, the rays of the sun on the flag of the country have the shape of a grain – a symbol of prosperity and well-being. The image of the sun in the state paraphernalia of Kazakhstan confirms its commitment to universal values and indicates that the new young state is full of life-affirming energy and is open to all countries of the world for partnership and cooperation.
The image of the eagle (golden eagle) is one of the main heraldic attributes that have long been used in the coats of arms and flags of many nations. This image is usually perceived as a symbol of power, foresight and generosity. The golden eagle soaring under the sun embodies the strength of the state, its sovereignty and independence, striving for high goals and a sustainable future. The image of the golden eagle occupies a special place in the worldview of Eurasian nomads. They associate it with concepts such as freedom and loyalty, dignity and courage, power and purity of thought. The stylized silhouette of the golden golden eagle reflects the aspiration of the young sovereign state to the heights of world civilization.
An important element of the national flag is the vertical stripe with a national ornament located at its shaft. Kazakh ornament is one of the forms of a specific artistic perception of the world in strict accordance with the aesthetic tastes of the people. Representing the harmony of various shapes and lines, it is an expressive means of revealing the inner world of the people. The national ornament along the shaft symbolizes the culture and traditions of the people of Kazakhstan.

The flag is one of the main symbols of the state, embodying its sovereignty and identity. The national flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a rectangular panel of sky-blue color with an image in the center of the sun with rays, under which there is a soaring eagle (golden eagle). The shaft has a vertical stripe with a national ornament.
The coat of arms of sovereign Kazakhstan was officially adopted in 1992. Its authors are famous architects Zhandarbek Malibekov and Shot-Aman Ualikhanov.
The coat of arms is one of the main symbols of the state. The term "coat of arms" comes from the German word "erbe" (inheritance) and means a hereditary distinctive sign – a combination of figures and objects that are given symbolic meaning. History shows that even the nomads of the Bronze Age, who lived on the territory of modern Kazakhstan, identified themselves with a special symbol – a totem, the graphic expression of which later received the name "tamga". This term was first used in the Turkic Khaganate.
The national Emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan has the shape of a circle (wheel) – it is a symbol of life and eternity, which enjoyed special respect among the nomads of the Great Steppe. The central heraldic element in the state coat of arms is the image of a shanyrak (the upper vaulted part of the yurt) on a blue background, from which uyks (pillars) radiate in all directions in the form of sun rays. To the right and left of shanyrak there are images of mythical winged horses. There is a three-dimensional five-pointed star in the upper part, and the inscription "Qazaqstan" in the lower part. The image of the star, shanyrak, uyks, mythical horses, as well as the inscription "Qazaqstan" are made in gold color.
Shanyrak is the main backbone part of the yurt, shaped like a celestial dome and is one of the key elements of life in the traditional culture of the Eurasian nomads. In the National Coat of Arms of the republic, the image of shanyrak is a symbol of a common home and a single homeland for all peoples living in the country. The stable development of Kazakhstan depends on the well-being of every citizen, just as the strength and stability of shanyrak depends on the reliability of all its pillars.
Winged mythical tulpara horses in the national coat of arms are a key heraldic element. The image of a horse since time immemorial embodies concepts such as bravery, loyalty and strength. The wings symbolize the centuries-old dream of the multinational people of Kazakhstan to build a strong and prosperous state. They testify to pure thoughts and the desire for consistent improvement and creative development. The golden wings of the horses also resemble golden ears and embody the hard work of Kazakhstanis and the material well-being of the country.
In the past centuries, horns were actively used in the cult rituals of nomads, as well as as the tops of their battle banners. Images of heavenly grace, earthly fertility and military luck in the form of horns of various animals have always occupied significant places in symbolic compositions of various peoples. Thus, the winged horse with a cornucopia is an important typological image that has deep semantic and historical roots.
Another detail in the national emblem of the republic is a five–pointed star. This symbol has been used by mankind since ancient times and embodies the constant striving of people for the light of truth, for everything sublime and eternal. The image of the star in the national coat of arms reflects the desire of Kazakhstanis to create a country open to cooperation and partnership with all peoples of the world. The hearts and hugs of the people of Kazakhstan are open to representatives of all five continents.
The main color used in the national coat of arms is the color of gold, which serves as a symbol of wealth, justice and generosity. The color of the flag is also sky blue, which is in harmony with the color of gold and symbolizes a clear sky, peace and prosperity.

The National Coat of Arms of the Republic of Kazakhstan
In the history of independent Kazakhstan, the national anthem of the country has been approved twice – in 1992 and in 2006.
The national anthem is one of the main symbols of the state. The term "anthem" itself comes from the Greek word "gimneo" and means "solemn song". The anthem acts as an important sound symbolism, which is of key importance for effective socio-political consolidation and ethno-cultural identification of the country's citizens.
In order to popularize the country's sound symbols, a new national anthem was adopted in 2006. It was based on the popular patriotic song "Menin Kazakstanym". It was written in 1956 by Shamshi Kaldayakov based on poems by Zhumeken Nazhvedenov. To give the song the high status of the national anthem and a more solemn sound, President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev finalized the original text. The Parliament of Kazakhstan, at a joint session of the Chambers on January 6, 2006, amended the Decree "On State Symbols" and approved the new national anthem of the country.
Lyrics by Nursultan Nazarbayev and Zhumeken Najvedenov, music by Shamshi Kaldayakov
Altyn kun aspany,
Altyn dan dalasy,
Yerliktin dastany,
Elime karashi!
Ezhelden er degen,
Dankymyz shykty goy.
Namysyn bermegen,
Kazagym mykty goy!
Kayyrmasy:
Menin elim, menin elim,
Gulin bolyp egilemin,
Zhyryn bolyp togilemin, elim!
Tugan zherim menin – Kazakstanym!
Urpakka zhol ashkan,
Ken baytak zherim bar.
Birligi zharaskan,
Tawelsiz elim bar.
Karsi algan uakytty,
Mangilik dosyndai.
Bizdin ate bakytty,
Bizdin ate osindai!
Kayyrmasy:
Menin elim, menin elim,
Gulin bolyp egilemin,
Zhyryn bolyp togilemin, elim!
Tugan zherim menin – Kazakstanym!
