The Fuyu Kyrgyz (富裕 柯尔克孜 语 Fuyü Gïrgïs) are a Turkic people in Manchuria in northeast China . There are around 1500 people in China today who see themselves as Fuyu Kyrgyz.

Origin and language

According to a tradition widespread among them, the Fuyu Kyrgyz were deported from the Altai to Manchuria during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1735–1799) in connection with the wars against the Djungars . She calls herself Qïrγïs (Kirghis). They therefore not only share their common home with the Kyrgyz in the area on the upper reaches of the Yenisei , but also their name. They are divided into 6 clans: Tabïn, Qapxan, Ïčïq, Sandïr, Pïltïr and Qïrγïs, who now have the surnames Wu, Han, Chang, Cai, Lang and Si, which emerged from the abbreviation and Sinization. Despite the common original home and name, their language belongs to a different subgroup of the Turkic languages ​​than Kyrgyz and is more closely related to that of the Khakass . Their language is thus one of the Siberian Turkic languages .

The few Fuyu Kyrgyz are the only members of a Turkic people in Manchuria and are subject to ongoing assimilation. About the informants, whose information on the vocabulary of the Fuyu Kyrgyz language, collected in 2003 and 2004, is the basis of the study by Li, Ölmez and Kim, it is stated that they used the language as children but are now in daily contact of Chinese and Mongolian .

Culture and religion

Unlike most other Turkic peoples, the Fuyu Kyrgyz were never Islamized . Today they are mostly Buddhists , Tengrists or follow Chinese folk beliefs .

Ancestral cult plays a major role and is comparable to its Han Chinese and Manchu rian neighboring peoples.
