Abstract
The role of the Oghuz in the formation of the Kazakh people is a less studied problem in historiography.The significance of the study is due to the fact that in recent years historical studies and studiesof oral folklore (chronicles, legends, etc.) have been published, as well as considering the appearance oftribal signs (tamgas), one can determine the active role of Oguzes in the formation of tribes from ancienttimes. In this regard, the article considers the role of the Oghuz in the formation of the Kazakh clans andtribes.The history of the Kazakh people rooted in the history of tribes is studied on the basis of the unity ofthe composition of clans, tribes and the region. It is important to always take into account the fact thatthe tribes that make up the Kazakh people, like the Zhalaiyrs, Naimans, Kanles, Konyrats, Adai, Zhappas,etc. their ethnic origin is associated with the Oguzes. A distinctive feature of the study of the history ofthe Kazakh people begins with the history of the Oghuz, Kypchaks and other Turkic-speaking associationsand is directly related to their history.
