- 1阿拉木圖（哈薩克東南部大城市；1997 年以前是首都，現在首都是阿斯塔納 Astana）
Almaty is a large city in the southeast of Kazakhstan. From 1929 to 1997 it was the country’s capital; since 1997 the capital has been , farther north. Before that, the same town was called Vernoye, Verny, or Vernyi. People still treat Almaty as the biggest city and a main centre of business and culture, even though it is no longer the capital — so “the capital of Kazakhstan” is a trap. In English we say Almaty; older books may print Alma-Ata, the Russian form of the name. It is a place name, so it takes a capital letter.
組成A transliteration of Kazakh Almatı, an adjective form of alma, “apple” — so the name is like “apple place” or “of apples”.
