This is a partial grammatical description of modern Kazakh based on one sampling of 8,899 words of texts (from three newspaper articles 1992, 1993, 1994). This description covers the major aspects of Kazakh morphology and syntax, as well as most types of verbal constructions. Some grammatical points are quoted from Balakaev, Baskakov, Kengesbaev (1962), and Cirtautus (1974). The accompanying affix list is a necessary feature of this grammar which takes a morphophonemic approach to Kazakh morphology.
