[[File:KZ-2011-50tenge-Aytysh-b.png|thumb|right|Aytysh competition]]
'''Aytysh''' ({{lang-ky|айтыш}} {{IPA-ky|ɑjtɯ́ʃ|}}) or '''Aytys''' ({{lang-kk|айтыс}}, {{IPA-kk|ɑjtə́s|IPA}}) is a song competition held between two [[akyn|aqyn]]s. Each usually strums a national instrument ([[qomuz]] in the case of the [[Kyrgyz people|Kyrgyz]], [[dombra]] in the case of the [[Kazakhs]]), and they respond to each other in [[wikt:spontaneous|spontaneous]] [[rhyme|rhyming]] verse on a range of topics. They may make backhanded political statements, criticise each other's style, flirt (if of the opposite sex), and flat-out insult one another, but it is all done in good humour: Kyrgyz aqyns even often state that one must have good intentions to be a good aqyn. Because of this, it is a commonly held belief that one cannot hold what an aqyn says against them, and the only way for one aqyn to "get back at" another aqyn is to attempt to outdo them at aytys.

Despite the custom to allow aqyns all forms of slander, there are known cases of aqyns in [[Kazakhstan]] being threatened for making political statements against the [[Nursultan Nazarbayev|president]].{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}}

Kyrgyz aqyns claim that it is important to be aware of their audience to perform well, and hence, some find it difficult to perform in isolation (e.g., in a studio without a live audience). The audience often votes on the winner in a competition, though this isn't a formal process—many people can "feel" (without anyone stating it overtly) which aqyn the audience has converged upon as a winner just by the crowd's [[group dynamics|dynamics]].

Usually aqyns compete against other aqyns of same nationality, but due to a high level of mutual intelligibility between the Kyrgyz and Kazakh languages, there have been cases, even in recent years, where Kyrgyz and Kazakh aqyns have competed against one another.{{citation needed|date=December 2008}}

{{refimprove|date=April 2010}}
Most of [[Kazakhstan]] is [[endorheic basin]] (except northern territories). As it is expected, the rivers flow into the numerous lakes in the basin. The most important drainage system is known as [[Zhetysu|Yedisu]], meaning "seven rivers" in [[Turkic language]]s. Below is the list of more important lakes. Some of these lakes are shared with the neighbouring countries. (Caspian Sea, Lake Aral, Lake Aike, etc.)
