[edit] Posting here for review, and possible reinclusion later
Other suggestions are:-
- "United Nine Tribes," a replacement for Tokuz-Oguz the tribal alliance of which the Uyghurs were part.[1]
- Another suggested etymology is a composite of quick (Turkic:uigy) and man (Turkic:er/ir/ur) for Quick People.[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nishidani (talk • contribs) 19:38, 9 July 2011
[edit] Picture about the info box
We should make a collage with many different Uygur people like other Wikipedia entries on other nations have 1907AbsoluTurk (talk) 08:16, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] population figure
So which one is it? 8 million and 21 million, there's quite a significant difference. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 06:11, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- The difference probably has to do with the fact that the former number comes from a statistically rigorous, transparent national census while the latter number was made up out of thin air. Shrigley (talk) 21:59, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Tocharians
I noticed that the quote from a paper in the genetic history section made a lot out of the supposed link between Uyghurs an the Tocharians, but is there any actual proof that they were genetically linked specifically to the Tocharians as opposed to a general Causacian population? There appears to be a contradiction with the other paper with suggests the admixture occurred far earlier than the date when the Uyghurs moved to the region occupied by Tocharians. The section may need to be rewritten if there isn't actual proof, rather it is an just an assumption on the part of the author which may be erroneous. Hzh (talk) 14:38, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Karakhanids
I don't know why it is repeated here that the Karakhanid Khanate was a Uyghur kingdom. I have read quite a few books on Central Asia and the Karakhanids, and none of them mention Uyghurs being a significant part of the Karakhanids. It was a confederation of mainly of Karluks, Chigils, Yaghmas. Unless there is some good source for this claim, it should not be be stated as a Uyghur kingdom. Hzh (talk) 02:53, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
