'''Jambyl Region''' ({{lang-kk|Жамбыл облысы, ''Jambıl oblısı'', جامبىل وبلىسى}}) is a [[Regions of Kazakhstan|region]] of [[Kazakhstan]]. Its capital is [[Taraz]]. The population of the region is 1,000,000; the city is 335,100. The region borders [[Kyrgyzstan]], and is very near [[Uzbekistan]] (all to the south). Jambyl also borders three other provinces: [[Karaganda Region]] (to the north), [[South Kazakhstan Region]] (to the west) and [[Almaty Region]] (to the east). The total area is {{convert|144200|km2|mi2}}. The province borders [[Lake Balkhash]] to its northeast. The province (and its capital during the [[Soviet era]]) was named after the Kazakh ''[[akyn]]'' (folk singer) [[Jambyl Jabayev]].

==Population==

An estimated 1.2 million people lived in the province in 2010. The population consists of more than 100 ethnic groups. Kazakhs comprise about 65% of the population. The lowest percentage of Kazakhs is in Taraz (Dzhambul) though their share in the city has grown from 23% in 1989 to 60% in 2009.

==History==
See [[Taraz]] for a detailed account of the history of the provincial capital.

==Administrative divisions==
The province is administratively divided into ten districts and the city of [[Taraz]].<ref name="akimat">{{cite web|url=http://www.zhambyl.gov.kz/index.php?action=contents&page=2&lan=rus|title=Характеристика|publisher=The official portal of akimat of Jambyl Region|language=Russian|accessdate=13 July 2013}}</ref>

[[Janatas]], [[Karatau, Kazakhstan|Karatau]], [[Shu, Jambyl|Shu]], and [[Taraz]] have the administrative status of a town.<ref name="akimat"/>

==Economy==
Important industries include rock [[phosphate]] mining (around [[Karatau]]). The [[Chu River]] valley is one of Kazakhstan's important areas of irrigated agriculture.

The core of the rail transportation network in the region is based on the east-west [[Turksib]] rail line, which runs through Taraz and Chu toward [[Almaty]], and the north-south [[Transkazakhstan]] line, which runs north from Chu toward Astana. [[:ru:Автострада М 39|CIS Highway M 39]] (which in this area forms part of [[European route E40]]) comes from Tashkent, Uzbekistan over Shymkent (capital of neighbouring province South Kazakhstan) and runs further over Taraz to [[Bishkek]], Kyrgyzstan; then it comes to Jambyl Province again through [[Korday border crossing]] and continues east toward Almaty.
