Eastern Yugur and Western Yugur are terms coined by Chinese linguists to distinguish between the Mongolic and Turkic Yugur language, both spoken within the Yugur nationality. The terms may also indicate the speakers of these languages. Traditionally, both languages are indicated by the term Yellow Uygur, from the autonym of the Yugur. The eastern variety is the Mongolic one.
The Mongolic eastern Yugur language speakers are said to have passive bilingualism with the standard Mongolian language.[1]
