COMMENTAIRES SUPPLÉMENTAIRES		"The Lopnor dialect is considered one of the three regional varieties of Uyghur in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is spoken by approximately less than 0.5% of the Uyghur population. Nevertheless, it occupies a special position not only among the regional varieties of Uyghur, but also in comparative research on Turkic languages. It also provides a crucial data for language contact in this area. The Lopnor dialect displays a set of unique phonological, morphological and syntactic features alien to other varieties of Uyghur. Its lexicon contains exceptional items relating to fishing and some rare Old Turkic words and copies (loan words) from Mongolian. Thus, some scholar consider it as an independent language rather than a variety of Uyghur." (Abdurehim 2014: 26)

"I assume that the number of the Lopnor dialect speakers in 1982 must have been less than 24,000 as this is the number of Uyghur people in the entire Lopnor region. Therefore, this number may include some speakers of the central dialect and migrant Uyghur people from other parts of Xinjiang." (p.19)

COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE: "Based on the recent fieldwork, it is estimated that only a few speakers over 80 years of age have a good command of the dialect and are dialect-dominant. Individuals over the age of 50 speak in both the Lopnor dialect and Standard Uyghur. Speakers under 30 are multilingual (typically Uyghur and Mandarin Chinese) and they have kept only some traces of the Lopnor dialect. The transfer of the Lopnor dialect to the next generation has already essentially stopped. Today's children grow up using Standard Uyghur or Mandarin Chinese." (p.33)

COMMENTAIRES SUPPLÉMENTAIRES: "Lop Nor Uighur was spoken in the Lop Nor region (around lake Lop Nor), but due to China's nuclear experiments in the region the population was moved in the 1950s to other parts of East Turkestan, where they have become assimilated by speakers of regular Uighur."
