Kazakhstan President Kassem-Jomart Tokayev expressed concern about the spread of Arabic expressions in Kazakhstan's everyday speech. Recently it has become fashionable to replace the customary expressions with Arabic words, especially when it comes to religion. Elders have their own traditional expressions. For example, instead of "Inshaallah" you can say "Kudai qalasa" and instead of "Alhamandula" - "Kudai qukir". "We are Kazakhstan, not Arabs," said Tokyev.
