I can’t be the only one who had to look up “Uyghur”.
In general terms, Turk, Uzbeks, & Uighurs are the same Turkic people stretching from Asia Minor to Central Asia to Western China. They are Muslim but with fanatics excepted are more merchants than warriors. I was deployed to Uzbekistan and they seemed normal enough, no sensitivity training needed.
The languages of the three groups are similar & they intermarry freely. I found that Uzbeks welcomed any association with Turkiye.
It would be interesting to know the difference if any between Uzbek & Uighur food. Both feature rice based dishes, kebabs, and flatbreads baked daily.
Urumqi is the de facto Uighur capital in China.
Pronounced like "We-girs." Been hearing about them for years. The Han Chinese are moving into their territory and dispersing the Uyghurs. If Uyghurs want to retain their tribe, they will uproot and take over somewhere else. This has been the history of conquest in Eurasia. Nothing but nasty tribes and plagues came to Europe from Asia.
