Salar

Salar (Salırça)

Salar is a Turkic language spoken by about 60,000 people in China, mainly in Qinghai
and Gansu provinces, and also in Xinjiang. The Salar people arrived in China
during the 14th century, and according to Salar legend they came from
Samarkand. The Salar language is thought to be related to western Turkic
or Oghuz languages and has been heavily influenced by Tibetan and Chinese
languages.

The Arabic alphabet was traditionally used to write Salar, and is still
used. An unofficial, unstandardised Latin-based alphabet is also used,
though the Salar generally prefer to use the Arabic script.
