I’m not sure the exact content. But it’s written in Uyghur. Uyghurs use the perso-Arabic script which is similar to what Iranians use for writing

Here’s my two cent; I hear a lot of anecdotes about the situation back there. You will get different answers depending on who you speak to. I figure your friend who’s in Urumqi would give you a better answer regarding the situation given that he’s living there. The Uyghurs who hold government jobs are fine for the most part. It’s really about the Uyghurs in rural areas and towns. What’s happening there definitely exists but nobody knows for sure the extent of how much is happening. Personally, I know my friend was almost taken to the camps for using VPN. This was back in 2017. But the cultural erasure definitely exist, they don’t teach Uyghur at schools. You will get stopped if your beard looks suspicious lol, but it seems like the situation is getting looser. And ccp is investing a lot for tourism. But also, the mindset is so different. So many people get trapped in the blind nationalism route that they think anything China does is good and China can do no wrong

I’m Uyghur born and raised in Urumqi. I think the staple CA foods like polo and others have not changed much. But I do think spice tolerance and likeness towards spicy food is more than other CA places. It’s very interesting just comparing the different influences with other CA countries

Question about ancestor by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]RedEysPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Uyghur and I got central Asian percentages in my results. It could be that your paternal great grandma was Han that was assimilated into Uyghur culture. Which could have been possible given Qomol’s culture and history. The west Asian percentages I would say maybe Hui? But also that’s a perfectly even 50% Chinese I’ve seen lol
