Kashgar...
"Kashgar is spoken in a variety of forms in the
Tien Shan Moun-
tains of Sinkiang Province, China,
which was reorganized in
1955 as the Uigur Autonomous Region. This vast area, known as
Eastern Turkestan, is now a sparsely populated waste, although
a millennium ago it was a center of trade and culture, boasting
rich monastic libraries. The Kashgar, as well as the Turfan
and
Taranchi, are now often called Uigur, a comprehensive term
covering the Turkic majority (exclusive
of nomadic Kazakh
communities) of the 6 million inhabitants of Sinkiang.
‘Uigur’
in the past referred to the Turkic people who controlled Eastern
Turkestan until the Mongol invasions on the 13th century, and
who were the ancestors of all the Turkic-stock peoples of present-
day Sinkiang.
The predominantly Musl_m Kashgars employ Arabic script,
although their Uigur antecedents devised an alphabet which was
used throughout the Mongolian Empire
in the 13th century.
This Uigur script developed from the Aramaic-based writing
used for the Iranic Sogdian language,
which was employed as a
lingua franca along the trade routes of Turkestan and Central
Asia at the end of the first millennium A.D." --1000 Tongues, 1972
