Kyrgyzstan - Languages

The official language, Kyrgyz External, is spoken by 2 448 220 people. There are also some 916 000 Russian External-speakers (which is now also a national language), 550 000 Northern Uzbeck-speakers and 109 000 Ukrainian-speakers. The second indigenous language of Kyrgyzstan, Dungan External, has 38 000 speakers.

Kyrgyzstan - Personal names

image

Personal names may be formed using the Russian system or a Turkic system. In either case, the name is built using the patronymic system, showing filiality to the father.

Kyrgyz names may contain a particle such as uulu/oulou or oghlu, which means “son of”. In these cases, the name is often written:

   family name[ ]particle[, ]given name

for example

   Esen uulu, Kylych

Kyzy means “daughter of”, and is used in the same way. Names may also be written in the format:

   given name[ ]particle[ ]family name
   Tables of names can be acquired: given names External, surnames/family names External, family name prefixes External, forms of address External, job titles External

   Кыргыз Почтасы  
   720001 BICHKEK-1

Note that the order of address lines in Kyrgyzstan is the opposite to that used in Western Europe - the postal code and town comes first, then the street address, then the name of the person or company. When written in Latin script the address may often be found written in the “Western” order, often with building number before the street name and sometimes with postal code written after the town name:

   Department of State
   227 Avenue Tchuy
   BISHKEK 720001
   A table containing information about the relevant position of elements within address blocks can be acquired External

Kyrgyzstan - Postal codes

image

Postal codes consist of a block of 6 digits, commencing 71 or 72. This is the same code that was used before the independence of Kyrgyzstan from the Soviet Union. The first three digits indicate the town or provincial centre, the final three the main post office of towns and villages.

   Metadata containing postal code formatting rules, exceptions and regular expressions can be acquired External
