Although the number of Kazakh-speaking young people is currently growing, the quality of the Kazakh language they speak is not satisfactory. It has been a point of discussion in the Kazakh press and social networks recently. Therefore, in order to bring this issue into the subject of linguistic research and illustrate it with concrete examples, a study of the oral speech of students of well-known university in Kazakhstan was conducted. The facts regarding positive and negative processes in the oral speech of young people were established and analyzed. In this paper, we identify linguistic and non-linguistic causes of these processes in students' oral utterances. The research data includes a video of university students exchanging opinions on specific topics. The words used inappropriately were transcribed and discussed. The analysis is performed on the general introductory content of the topic and the structure of each student's speech. To achieve the goal, linguistic causes are analyzed at the levels of phonetics, morphology, and syntactic structures, and the factors influencing non-linguistic causes are determined.
