Rédigé par un Ouïghour qui localise la tombe en Ouïghouristan… avec ces précisions
Uyghuristan (’Uyghur Ali"), found in a medieval Uyghur manuscript, means “The Country of Uyghurs.” The name of Uyghuristan is used in this research report as a geographical location rather than a geopolitical term. It is situated in the eastern part of Central Asia and is now the biggest province of China. In different periods it was called “The Western Regions” in Chinese sources, “East Türkistan,” "Chinese Türkistan," or “Chinese Central Asia” in Western sources.
Different parts of the region were also at various times named as “Qashqariya” (in the south), “Jungghariya” (in the north), and “Tocharistan” (in the middle and the east). Since 1884, the Qing Dynasty government of China started to call it “Xinjiang,” which means “new territory.” After 1955, the name “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region” was given to it.
Soit, en français et au choix, Turkestan oriental, Tokharistan, Dzoungarie, Kashgarie,…
