Toponyms edge

The continuity of past and present any people finds the reflection in names-toponimakh. Names of lands reveal secrets of centuries-old history of the Kazakh people. Renaming of many toponyms in difficult years which were tested by the people, as a result of it, the disappeared names of lands – all this is the main problem of today.

Toponymics (in Greek topos- places and onima, or onoma, - a name) - a science about place names. She is urged to explain an origin of place names, to shine history of their development.

The toponymics covers names not only large objects (mountains, the woods, the cities), but also small (streets, natural boundaries, ravines, creeks).

As the toponim-geographical name - at the same time is language and historical therefore it matters as an important source for linguistics, history, geography, archeology.

It is impossible to present modern society without place names. They ubiquitous and always accompany our thinking. Without them the civilization, communication between the people and the countries is inconceivable.
