I did not find any Babel file for Kazakh. However, there is a file "kazakh.def" as part of the montex package http://www.ctan.org/pkg/montex (an alternative to Babel for Mongolian LaTeX). (There is a considerable Kazakh minority in Mongolia.) However, this file seems to be an alias for Xalx.def, it says: % Description: Conventional Labels, litteral numbering and date, % given in Modern Mongolian (Xalx) I agree that removing Kazakh may be break existing documents that work around the issues. (And it seems a file-format change, so cannot be reverted soon.) Until bug 8600 (http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8600) is solved, I propose the following patch: --- /usr/local/src/lyx/lib/languages~ 2013-03-25 14:47:18.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/languages23038.5907 2013-04-03 14:48:20.000000000 +0200 @@ -598,7 +598,7 @@ # not supported by babel Language kazakh GuiName "Kazakh" - Encoding pt154 + Encoding ascii LangCode kk_KZ PostBabelPreamble \input{t2aenc.def} this should solve cases where Kazakh text parts are used in a non-Cyrillic document while the PostBabelPreamble is still sensible to prevent unecessary font switches for punctuation and other ASCII characters in a Kazakh document using the Cyrillic script.
