The Salarian language (proper name: Salar dili ) is a Turkic language that belongs to the Oghuz group , but was influenced by the related Uighur .
According to their oral tradition, the ancestors of the salt lakes of the intended oghusische tribe of Salur have been. While most of the Oghuz tribes migrated west, the ancestors of the Salars remained in China . Traces of their original, oghusian-colored language can still be seen today.
About 20% of today's vocabulary is of Chinese origin and about 10% of Tibetan origin.
Speaker and area of circulation
In 1982 salarian was still the mother tongue of around 55,000 people.
The main settlement areas of the Salar are in the People's Republic of China : Xunhua- Salar Autonomous County and Hualong- Hui Autonomous County in Qinghai Province ; also the Ili Kazakh Autonomous District in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region .
The language carriers are often multilingual: in addition to their own language, Uyghur and Chinese are spoken primarily .
Alphabets
Salarian has no official alphabet but was sometimes written in Arabic in the past . Today most salar use some version of the Chinese script .
In 1969/70 a Latin alphabet was introduced, which is closely based on that of the Uyghurs and is based on the uniform Turkish alphabet . However, this alphabet was not very popular and is only partially used, mostly on the Internet.
