Oralman

Oralman refers to ethnic Kazakhs who have historically migrated from other countries, such as China, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia, to Kazakhstan. The term signifies their status as returnees or new settlers rather than native Kazakhs. The Kazakh government actively encourages Oralman to promote cultural unity and demographic growth, often providing support like housing and integration programs. These migrations have enriched Kazakhstan’s cultural diversity but also pose challenges related to assimilation and resource management. Overall, Oralman are a vital part of the nation’s efforts to sustain its cultural heritage and demographic stability.
