Kazakhstan · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 哈萨克 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 哈薩克; on the Mainland it is 哈萨克斯坦 - both point at “Kazakhstan”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 哈薩克、哈薩克斯坦 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
