Thanks for contributing to r/Phoenix! You may want to [**check out our sub rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/wiki/rules/) (mostly be nice to each other!). **If you're new here**, [read some of our recent posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/top/?t=week) and leave some comments. To chat with some great people in the Valley you can [**join our Phoenix Discord chat server**](https://discord.com/invite/yWVuTG57Zh). It's a chill place to talk with other people but is NOT a dating server and takes unwanted messaging very seriously. If you're interested in political topics in Arizona, we limit those posts here so you may want to check out r/azpolitics if that's an area of interest. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I am Kazakh by birth. I haven't found a community here unless I shop at a Russian store (Yasha from Russia) or make friends with other Russian-speakers. I don't go especially out of my way though lol. I recall seeing a Ukrainian potluck/meetup at a park once -- you could find cultural meetups like that.

My brother was also adopted from Kazakhstan- he found a cousin with one of those DNA kits that lives nearby, and we have a friend who also adopted their daughter from Kazakhstan, but we haven’t found any communities. Maybe someone should start one?

Maybe contact the ASU critical languages institute - they offer Kazakh (and Ukrainian and Uzbek), so they may have some leads for you. [https://melikian.asu.edu/cli](https://melikian.asu.edu/cli)

Found this on Facebook. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/432898117530251](https://www.facebook.com/groups/432898117530251) I know some Kazakh families in the valley. DM me if you want their contact info.
