An examination of linguistic parallels in toponymic legends of english and kazakh languages

Abstract

Place names, crucial elements within the realms of geography, history, and culture, serve as vital markers for human settlements, natural landmarks, and administrative zones. Their significance extends to various fields, including cartography, history, linguistics, and tourism, as they reflect the essence of a region’s landscape and heritage. Functioning as valuable references, they aid in public services, communication, and logistical operations, playing a pivotal role in location identification for emergency and postal services, communication networks, defense strategies, and navigation systems [1].
