What are the people from Kazakhstan called.

They are called the Kazakh people. Some of the other Stan countries, Uzbekistan, Uzbeks, Pakistan, Pakistanis, and Afghanistan, Afghans. None of these countries contain the "an"s or the "ish" s or even "ese" s as in Scottish or Canadian or even Portuguese. It's weird but that's how the countries are. The people just called themselves those names but for unknown reason
