Nomad ini berkeliaran di Pergunungan Altai di utara Mongolia dan terdapat juga di padang-padang rumput steppe Asia Tengah.

Alat muzik yang popular ialah dombra - memetik kecapi dengan dua senar. Alat ini digunakan ketika nyanyia solo dan berkumpulan.

Mereka mengamalkan sistem perkahwinan exokamous iaitu perkahwinan dengan keturunan nenek moyang dianggap tabu. Dalam perkahwinan, keturunan ayah menentukan.

Bahasa yang digunakan mirip bahasa Turki yang tersebar di Eropah Timur, Asia Tengah, Xinjiang, dan Siberia. Bahasa ini mirip menyamai bahasa Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Uyghur, Turkey, Azerbaijan dan Turkmen.

Agama anutan mereka ialah Islam, yang dibawa oleh orang Arab pada abad ke-8. Awalnya Islam tersebar di Turkistan, kemudian tersebar di utara. Ia ada kaitan dengan mubaligh Samanid di sekitar Taraz di mana ramai orang Turki memeluk agama Islam. Pada peringkat awal, Russia membiarkan agama Islam berkembang di mana ulama Muslim dijemput memberi khutbah. Semangat keagamaan ini membentuk pengikut Pan-Turkisme.

  1. ^ Kazakhstan National Census 2009 preliminary results
  2. ^ Kazakh population share was constant at 4.1% in 1959-1989 (CIA estimates) and declined to 3% in 1996. Official Uzbekistan estimation (E. Yu. Sadovskaya «Migration in Kazakhstan in the beginning of XXI century: main tendentions and perspectives»ISBN 9965-593-01-9) in 1999 was 940,600 Kazakhs or 3.8% of total population. If Kazakh population share was stable at about 4.1% (not taking into account the massive repatriation of ethnic Kazakhs (oralman) to Kazakhstan) and the Uzbekistan population in the middle of 2008 was 27.3 mln, the Kazakh population would be 1.1 mln. Using the CIA estimate of the share of Kazakhs (3%), the total Kazakh population in Uzbekistan would be 0.8 mln
  3. ^ Census 2000 counts 1.25 mln Kazakhs[1], later the Kazakh population had higher birth rate, but some assimilation processes were present too. Estimations made after the 2000 Cesus are claiming Kazakh population share growth (was 0,104 % in 2000), but even if this share value was preserved at 0.104% level it would be no less than 1.4 mln in 2008
  4. ^ 2002 Census ethnic composition data, in 2003-2008 Kazakhstan national statistics noted the oralman (ethnic Kazakhs) repatriation to Kazakhstan
