Аннотация:The linguistic resources for the language policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan are three languages of national and international communication, i.e. Kazakh, Russian and English. Those languages displayed a functional distribution in the multilingual communication, like in the linguistic landscape of the large cities, in the sphere of education and business and in other domains and settings, form an interconnected, complex system. In this context a number of emerging challenges and opportunities of the language planners in Kazakhstan are discussed in the paper, including the empowerment of the state (Kazakh) language in different societal domains, the issues of an eventual switch of the script from Cyrillic to Latin. Today the language policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is considered as a strategic objective, emanating from the existing historical features of the Kazakh nation and Kazakhstan as a whole.
