In the 18th-19th centuries, the Shala Kazakhs (Kazakh: Шалақазақтар, romanized: Şalaqazaqtar) were an ethnographic group of descendants of tatars, sarts, uyghurs, etc., migrated to Kazakhstan, intermarried with Kazakh women, but remained outside the Kazakh genealogy, because it propagates only via the male line. The literal translation for "shala" is "incomplete", "unripe".
