The population is estimated to be 63% ethnic Kazakhs and 23% ethnic Russian, with a rich array of other groups represented, including Tatars, Uzbeks, Bashkirs, Uyghurs and Ukrainians. Some minorities such as Russian Germans (esp.Volga Germans), Ukrainians and Russian political opponents of the regime had been deported to Kazakhstan in the 1930s and 1940s by Stalin. Some of the bigger Soviet labor camps existed in Kazakhstan. Significant Russian immigration also connected with Virgin Lands Campaign and Soviet space program during Khrushchev era. There is also a small but active Jewish community. Before 1991 there were one million Volga Germans in Kazakhstan; most of them emigrated to Germany following the breakup of the Soviet Union. Most members of the smaller Pontian Greek minority have emigrated to Greece. The main religious groups are Muslim (mainly Sunni) 47%, Russian Orthodox 44%, Protestant 2%, and other 7%.

Kazakhstan is a bilingual country: the Kazakh language, spoken by 64.4% of the population, has the status of the "state" language, while Russian, which is spoken by almost all Kazakhstanis, is declared the "official" language, and is used routinely in business.

The 1990s were marked by the emigration of many of the country's Europeans, a process that began in the 1970s; this was a major factor in giving the autochthonous Kazakhs a majority along with higher Kazakh birthrates and ethnic Kazakh immigration from the People's Republic of China, Mongolia, and Russia. In the early twenty first century, Kazakhstan has become one of the leading nations in international adoptions.

Map showing the relative proportion of Christianity (red) versus Muslims (green) in each country.The world's principal religions and spiritual traditions may be classified into a small number of major groups or world religions: the vast majority of religious and spiritual adherents follow one of Christianity (33% of world population), Islam (20%), Hinduism (13%), Chinese folk religion (6%) or Buddhism (5%).

These spiritual traditions may be either combined into larger super-groups, or into smaller sub-denominations. Christianity, Islam and Judaism (and sometimes the Baha'i Faith) are sometimes summarized as Abrahamic religions. Hinduism, Buddhism (including Vajrayana, East Asian Buddhism and Zen), Sikhism and Jainism are classified as Dharmic religions. Chinese folk religion, Taoism, Shintoism, are classified as Far Eastern religions.

Conversely, the major spiritual traditions may be parsed into sub-denominations:

Christianity into Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism and Restorationism (see Christian denominations)
Islam into Sunni and Shi'a Islam (see divisions of Islam)
Hinduism into Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism, Tantrism and others (see Hindu denominations)
Buddhism into Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism (see Schools of Buddhism)
About 4% of world population follow indigenous tribal religions. About 12% of world population are irreligious.
