Kazakh language is widely used by Kazakhs, which is different from that of Kazakhs in Kazakhstan and Mongolia who use Cyrillic letters. Kazakhs in China use the traditional Kazakh language based on the Arabic alphabet.

Due to the long-term frequent contact between Chinese Kazakhs and Han, Uygur and Mongolian nationalities, many Kazakhs also speak the languages of these nationalities.
