Kazakhs
Central Asian nation
Kazakhs are a Turkic ethnic group native to Central Asia, primarily Kazakhstan, where they form the majority population.
Significant Kazakh communities also live in China, Russia, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan.
Traditionally nomadic herders of the Eurasian steppe, Kazakhs have a culture centered on horsemanship, eagle hunting, and oral poetry.
The Kazakhs have inhabited these grasslands for centuries.
