  • That is a good question, I was only there for about a day or two and it was dumb of me not to ask. I can tell you that all of the students and teachers were Uyghur and spoke Uyghur to one another not Chinese. But, the writing on the blackboard behind the kids is all in chinese characters and at least one of the kids had learned a Chinese song, though she was not as confident in Chinese as she was in Uyghur.

  • Çok tatlılar... Allah bahtınızı açık etsin , kardeşimin kızları :)))

  • Its not Fair cos we have our identity and it must be saved even they donot like us. Xinjiang university is no more bilingual but it was. Look to Swezirland and other countries you speak all four languages and have no problem if you any nation of that four.Nowdays school unfortuanately are changing to monochineselingual

  • Bilingual it can be good, but nowdays its almost not bilingual the Xinjiang university in Urumqi city (Ghalbiyat Yoli), was bilingual but later they just made it lost now possible just chinese that is not fair!The fact is that they slowly make us disappear.If you had same problem i would think what would you do?!

  • I totally agree. I am a Han if there is such a thing.

  • The Uighurs exhibit Caucasoid features, as part of their ancestry is Tocharian. ('Indo-European') This makes them more attractive, on average, than the typical Han Chinese. Most of the Uighur ancestry, however, is composed of those who killed off the Tocharians.

  • my post was deleted. you coward. keep your shameless lies.

  • According to this article, "China's ethnic minority kids caught in language trap" by Emma Graham-Harrison published on 6 December 2006 in Reuters News, the Current policy in China is for children to be educated in Mandarin. However, because many of the teachers as well as students in Xinjiang's education system do not speak Mandarin well much of the education continues to be carried out in native languages. You can look at Michael D. Manning's blog for more info.

  • Eastern Turkestan to China is like Siberia to Russia. Different people. Russians are foreigners in Siberia. Han Chinese are a foreign culture in Eastern Turkestan.

    China could also be an Uyghur colony. Then all you Han Chineze should learn Uyghurca and listen to your Uyghur master, and let them exploit your lands. Fair? I really hope it's true the schools are bilingual.
