Attitudes Towards Incipient Mankurtism among Kazakhstani College Students.

Rivers, William P.

Language Policy, v1 n2 p159-74 2002

Examines attitudes of prospective Kazakhastani parents towards the language in which their children would be raised, based on a survey of 857 Kazakhstani college students. "Mankurtism" is the russification of the elite of non-Russian nationalities. Examines Mankurtism in light of one goal of Kazakhstani language policy--that all citizens master Kazakh. (Author/VWL)
