National Flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan
National Flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan represents a rectangular panel of blue color with the image of the sun with rays in the center, under which – a soaring eagle. Near the flagstaff, there is national ornament in the form of a vertical stripe. The image of the sun, its rays, eagle and national ornament – in gold color. The ratio of width to length is 1: 2.
According to the law of heraldry, the silhouette of the sun is a symbol of wealth and abundance. It is no accident that on closer examination one can see that the sun's rays in our flag at the same time have the form of grain – the basis of abundance and prosperity.
The steppe eagle or golden eagle occupies a special place in the outlook of nomads. Its image in the arms and flags of nations and ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan, has a long tradition.
In the language of symbols, the silhouette of the eagle means state power, breadth and vision. For the nomads, this is a symbol of freedom, independence, commitment to the goal, to the height, flying to the future.
At the same time, the eagle possesses a powerful force, and is able to give a fitting rebuff to anyone who tries to interfere with the achievement of the future. The silhouette of the eagle also came from the idea of striving of young sovereign Kazakhstan in the height of the world civilization.
Another element that gives the novelty and originality to our flag is national ornament in the form of a stripe coming parallel to the flagstaff. The national Kazakh ornament depicts "koshkar-muyz" – ram's horn.

Алтын күн аспаны, Алтын дән даласы, Ерліктің дастаны, Еліме қарашы! Ежелден ер деген, Даңқымыз шықты ғой. Намысын бермеген, Қазағым мықты ғой! Қайырмасы: Менің елім, менің елім, Гүлің болып егілемін, Жырың болып төгілемін, елім! Туған жерім менің – Қазақстаным! Ұрпаққа жол ашқан, Кең байтақ жерім бар. Бірлігі жарасқан, Тәуелсіз елім бар. Қарсы алған уақытты, Мәңгілік досындай. Біздің ел бақытты, Біздің ел осындай! Қайырмасы: Менің елім, менің елім, Гүлің болып егілемін, Жырың болып төгілемін, елім! Туған жерім менің – Қазақстаным!
