The Western Yugur People

The Yugur, or Yellow Uygur as they are traditionally known, are one of China's 56 officially recognized nationalities, consisting of 12,297 persons according to the 1990 census. The Yugur live primarily in Gansù Province, in Sùnán Yugur Autonomous County, within the Prefecture of Zhangyè.       The Yugur live in an area where four different language groups, Turkic, Mongolic, Chinese and Tibetan converge. The Yugur nationality itself consists in fact of four linguistically different groups.       The largest of these groups are the Turkic speaking Western Yugur, comprising about 4,600 persons; they mainly live in the western part of the County in Mínghua District, in the Townships of Liánhua and Mínghai, and in Dàhé District, in the centre of the County.       The Mongolic speaking Eastern Yugur number about 2,800; they mainly live in the County's eastern part, in Huángchéng District, and in Dàhé and Kanglè Districts, in the centre of the County.       A very small number of the Yugur reportedly speak Tibetan. They are most likely Tibetans who married into the Yugur community.       The remaining Yugur of the Autonomous County lost their respective Yugur language and speak Chinese. Another concentration of Chinese speaking Yugur lives outside of Sùnán Yugur Autonomous County, in Huángnibao Township, resorting under Jiuquán City.       Chinese is the language of contact between the different linguistic groups, and functions as written medium. Both Western and Eastern Yugur are unwritten languages.

The Western Yugur are considered to be the descendants of a group of Uygur that fled from Mongolia southwards to Gansù after the collapse of the Uygur Empire in 840 A.D. The Eastern Yugur are probably the descendants of one of the Mongolic speaking groups invading northern China during the Mongol conquests in the thirteenth century. From this it may be conjectured that the Yugur people have been living together for about seven centuries.
