Usage notes[edit]

The modern standard form Шымке́нт (Šymként), borrowed directly from Kazakh, goes against the rules of Russian orthography, which state that the sound IPA(key): [ɨ] should always be written with the letter и (i) if it follows ш (š) or ж (ž). For this reason, Russian-language media outside of Kazakhstan prefer to use the older form Чимке́нт (Čimként).
