Salar is a Turkic language spoken by the Salar people, who mainly live in the provinces of Qinghai and Gansu in China; some also live in Ili, Xinjiang. It is a primary branch and an eastern outlier of the Oghuz branch of Turkic, the other Oghuz languages being spoken mostly in West and Central Asia. The Salar number about 105,000 people, about 70,000[6] (2002) speak the Salar language; under 20,000[6] are monolinguals.

According to Salar tradition and Chinese chronicles, the Salars are the descendants of the Salur tribe, belonging to the Oghuz Turk tribe of the Western Turkic Khaganate. During the Tang dynasty, the Salur tribe dwelt within China's borders and since then has lived within the Qinghai-Gansu border region.[7][8] Contemporary Salar has some influence from Mandarin Chinese and Amdo Tibetan.

Classification

[edit]

Due to the ethnonym "Salur", which is also shared by some modern Turkmen tribes, linguists historically tried to establish a link between Turkmen varieties and the Salar language. Some placenames in Uzbekistan include the word Salar. Most modern linguists today classify Salar as an independent primary branch of the Oghuz languages.[9][10]

Dialects

[edit]

The Qing Empire deported some Salars who belonged to the Jahriyya Sufi order to the Ili valley which is in modern-day Xinjiang. Today, a community of about four thousand Salars speaking a distinct dialect of Salar still live in Ili. Salar migrants from Amdo (Qinghai) came to settle the region as religious exiles, migrants, and as soldiers enlisted in the Chinese army to fight rebels in Ili, often following the Hui.[11] The distinctive dialect of the Ili Salar differs from the other Salar dialects because the neighboring Kazakh and Uyghur languages in Ili influenced it.[12] The Ili Salar population numbers around 4,000 people.[13] There have been instances of misunderstanding between speakers of Ili Salar and Qinghai Salar due to the divergence of the dialects.[14] The differences between the two dialect result in a "clear isogloss".[15]

However, Lin Lianyun and Han Jianye divide Salar into two dialects by including Western Salar in the Gaizi dialect: the Gaizi dialect[16] and the Mengda dialect.[17][18] The Gaizi dialect is mainly distributed in Jiezi, Qingshui and Baizhuang in Xunhua County, Gandu in Hualong County, Dahejia in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province and Yining County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The Mengda dialect is distributed around the Mengda area of Xunhua County. The Mengda dialect is b-Salar, while the Gaizi (or Jiezi) dialect is v-Salar. For example; It lives in the Ili and Jiezi as[clarification needed] vol- "to be", ver- "to give", vax- "to look", and in the Mengda dialect as bol- "to be", ber- "to give", bax- "to look". Also, Mengda lost its ⟨gh⟩ phoneme, which has developed into the ⟨x⟩ phoneme: Gaizi deɣ- "to touch", Mengda dex- "to touch"; Gaizi yaʁ- "to rain", Mengda yaχ- "to rain". While the ⟨m⟩ phoneme stood in the Gaizi dialect, it turned into the ⟨n⟩ sound in THE Mengda dialect: Gaizi qamjü "whip", Mengda qanjü "whip"; Gaizi göm- "to embed", Mengda gön- "to embed".[17]

Mengda /ʒʰ/ /p/ /ɑ/ /e/ /ɑ/ /i/ /o/

Although Ili Salar is located far away from other dialects, the dialects of the Salar language are very close to each other. The difference between them is mostly phonological.[17] For example; Ili Salar[21] gölök, Qinghai[17] gölix, gölex "cow".

History

[edit]

Origins and development

[edit]

The ancestor to modern Salar is thought to have diverged first from the Proto-Oghuz language, a hypothetical language that all modern Oghuz languages are believed to be descended from. It was brought to the region by a small, nomadic, Muslim community, and received significant influence from other non-Oghuz Turkic languages such as Chagatai,[22] Kipchak and the Karluk languages,[23] along with non-Turkic languages belonging to the Sino-Tibetan family.

After the Jahriyya revolt, some Salars were deported to the Ili valley and established a new community in the region. This led to the divergence of a distinctive dialect called Ili Salar influenced by the neighboring Kazakh and Uyghur languages.[24]

Current situation

[edit]

According to 2002 estimates, Salars number about 105,000 people, and about 70,000 of them speak the Salar language. Only under 20,000 Salars are monolingual.[6][needs update]

The Salar language is the official language in all Salar autonomous areas.[5] Such autonomous areas are the Xunhua Salar Autonomous County and the Jishishan Bonan, Dongxiang and Salar Autonomous County. In Qinghai Province, most Salar people speak both Qinghai Mandarin (Chinese) and Salar. Rural Salars can speak Salar more fluently while urban Salars often assimilate more into the Chinese-speaking Hui Muslim population.[25]

Phonology

[edit]

Salar's phonology has been influenced by Chinese and Tibetan. In addition, /k, q/ and /ɡ, ɢ/ have become separate phonemes due to loanwords, as they have in other Turkic languages.[26]

Salar's vowels are similar to those of Turkish, with the back vowels /a, ɯ, o, u/ and the corresponding front vowels /e, i, ø, y/.[27] In Ili Salar, the high front vowels i and y, when placed after an initial glide, are spirantized with j transforming into ʝ.[28] Qinghai and Ili Salar have mostly the same consonantal development.[29]

Vocabulary

[edit]

In Qinghai Province, the Salar language has been notably influenced by Chinese and Tibetan.[30] Although of Turkic origin, major linguistic structures have been absorbed from Chinese. Around 20% of the vocabulary is of Chinese origin and another 10% is of Tibetan origin. Yet the official Chinese government policy deliberately covers up these influences in academic and linguistics studies, trying to emphasize the Turkic element and completely ignoring the Chinese superstrate in the Salar language.[31][why?] The Salar language has taken loans and influence from neighboring varieties of Chinese.[32] Vice versa, the neighboring variants of the Chinese language have also adopted loanwords from the Salar language.[33]

For the verb "to do" Salar uses "ät" (compare Turkish et).[34] For the word "lips" Salar uses "dodax" (compare Turkish dudak).[20] The participle miš is used by Salar (compare Turkish -mış).[35][36]

Writing system

[edit]

Salars mostly use Chinese for writing while using the Salar language for speaking.[37][38][39]

Salar does not have an official script, but it has sometimes been written down using the Arabic script.[40] Some Salar call for a Latin script and some Salar who dislike the Pinyin-based Latin script desire to use Chinese characters instead.[41] This lack of an official script has led most Salar to use the Chinese writing system.[42] China offered the Salar an official writing system quite similar to the Uyghur Yengi Yezik, but it was rejected for similar reasons as Yengi Yezik was rejected in Xinjiang.

Young Salar have also started to use a Salar script based on the orthography for Turkic languages. It is quite popular with Salars for writing Salar on the internet. There are two main variants that are used, TB30 and TB31. The Arabic script is also still popular among the Salar. The Arabic script has a historical precedent among the Salar; centuries-old documents in the Salar language written in the Arabic script have been discovered.[43][better source needed]

Grigory Potanin used the Cyrillic alphabet to record a glossary of Salar,[44][45][46] Western Yugur language and Eastern Yugur language[47][48][49][50] in his 1893 Russian language book The Tangut-Tibetan Borderlands of China and Central Mongolia with assistance from Vasily Radlov.[51]

William Woodville Rockhill wrote a glossary of Salar in his 1894 book Diary of a Journey through Mongolia and Tibet in 1891 and 1892 using the Latin alphabet based on the Wade–Giles romanization system used for Chinese.[52][53][54]

Pinyin-based Latin alphabet

[edit]

A romanization of the Mengda dialect of Salar based on Pinyin has been developed, created by a Salar, Ma Quanlin, who lives in Xunhua.[55] Like Pinyin, which is used to romanize Mandarin Chinese, this Salar romanization is divided into categories of consonants and vowels.[56] Letters that occur both in Pinyin and romanization of Mengda Salar share the same sound values.[57]
