Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking ethnic group primarily living in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, with diaspora communities worldwide. The term refers to people who share a common language, culture, and history. As a proper noun referring to a group, it is plural in form but treated as a mass noun in some contexts, and its pronunciation often challenges non-native speakers due to the combination of unfamiliar initial consonants and a secondary-stress pattern.
