Description

Kroków: Studia Etymologica Cracoviensia, Vol 3 (Separatum), 1998. — 45 - 92 p. — ISBN 8371882157This is the second in a series of articles on etymologies of the Western and Eastern Yugur languages, spoken by the Yugur (or 'Yellow Uygur'), one of China's 56 officially recognized nationalities. The Yugur live primarily in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County and in Huangnibao Township of Jiuquan City, both in Gansu Province. Western Yugur, a Turkic language, and Eastern Yugur, a Mongolic language, are spoken in an area where four different language groups, Turkic, Mongolic, Tibetan and Chinese converge, and have developed an extensive common vocabulary by adopting loanwords. The Tibetan loanwords in Western Yugur (W Yu) and Eastern Yugur (E Yu) are little studied. The Tibetan loanwords and names in the E Yu materials of Potanin (1893), Mannerheim (1911), and Malov (included in Kotwicz 1950), were described by Róna-Tas (1962).
