Which country traditionally calls its Nowruz celebration Nauryz?

Kazakhstan traditionally calls its Nowruz celebration Nauryz.

Nauryz is the Kazakh form of the spring New Year festival. It is observed in Kazakhstan and among Kazakh communities, with celebrations commonly featuring family visits, public festivities, traditional music, games, and special foods such as nauryz kozhe.

The festival's name is related to Persian Nowruz and to other regional forms including Navruz, Newroz, and Nevruz. These names share the same broad historical and linguistic connection, although local traditions and official holiday arrangements differ.

Kazakhstan restored Nauryz as an official public celebration after the Soviet period. Today, the holiday is strongly associated with spring renewal, community, hospitality, and cultural heritage. The word Nauryz itself should not be confused with the name of a particular dish, although nauryz kozhe is a famous festive food.
