Within the context of the Mongolian languages, Daur and Yellow Uyghur are categorized as outlying languages spoken in China:
-
Daur: This language is spoken in the northeastern portion of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and in western Heilongjiang province. Historically, many speakers have been concentrated around the city of Hailar and in the Nen River valley near Qiqihar.12
-
Yellow Uyghur: Also known as East Yogur, this language is spoken in the north of Gansu province. It is important to distinguish this Mongolian language from the Turkic language also called Yellow Uyghur (or West Yugar), as the two are distinct and should not be confused.34
