'''Western Yugur''' (Western Yugur: {{lang|ybe|''yoɣïr lar''}}<ref>{{cite thesis |last=Roos |first=Marti |date=2000 |type=PhD |publisher=University of Leiden |title=The Western Yugur (Yellow Uygur) Language. Grammar, Texts, Vocabulary.|oclc=67439751 |url=http://members.home.nl/marcmarti/yugur/biblio/ROOS_WesternYugurLanguage.pdf}}</ref> (Yugur speech) or {{lang|ybe|''yoɣïr śoz''}} (Yugur word)) is the [[Turkic languages|Turkic language]] spoken by the [[Yugur]] people. It is contrasted with [[Eastern Yugur language|Eastern Yugur]], the [[Mongolic languages|Mongolic language]] spoken within the same community. Traditionally, both languages are indicated by the term "Yellow Uygur", from the [[endonym]] of the Yugur.

There are approximately 4,600 Turkic-speaking Yugurs.

==Classification==
Besides similarities with Uyghuric languages, Western Yugur also shares a number of features, mainly [[archaism]]s, with several of the [[Siberian Turkic languages|Northeastern Turkic languages]], but it is not closer to any one of them in particular. Neither Western nor Eastern Yugur are [[Mutual intelligibility|mutually intelligible]] with [[Uyghur language|Uyghur]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=An Ethnohistorical Dictionary of China|first=James|last=Olson|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|year=1998|page=377}}</ref>

Western Yugur also contains [[archaism]]s which are attested in neither modern Uyghuric nor Siberian, such as its [[anticipating counting system]] coinciding with Old Uyghur, and its [[copula (linguistics)|copula]] ''dro'', which originated from Old Uyghur but substitute the Uyghur copulative personal suffixes.<ref>Chen et al, 1985</ref>

==Geographic distribution==
Speakers of Western Yugur reside primarily in the western part of [[Gansu]] province's [[Sunan Yugur Autonomous County]].

==Phonology==
A special feature in Western Yugur is the occurrence of [[preaspiration]], corresponding to the so-called [[pharyngealisation|pharyngealised]] or low [[vowel]]s in [[Tuvan language|Tuva]] and Tofa, and [[short vowel]]s in [[Yakut language|Yakut]] and [[Turkmen language|Turkmen]]. Examples of this phenomenon include {{IPA|/oʰtɯs/}} "thirty", {{IPA|/jɑʰʂ/}} "good", and {{IPA|/iʰt/}} "meat".

The [[vowel harmony|vowel harmonical system]], typical of Turkic languages, has largely collapsed. [[voice (phonetics)|Voice]] as a [[Distinctive feature|distinguishing feature]] in [[plosive consonant|plosive]]s and [[affricate]]s was replaced by [[Aspiration (phonetics)|aspiration]], as in [[Chinese language|Chinese]].

===Consonants===
West Yugur has 28 native consonants and two more (indicated in paretheses) found only in loan words.

===Vowels===
Western Yugur has eight vowel phonemes typical of many Turkic languages, which are {{IPA|/i, y, ɯ, u, e, ø, o, ɑ/}}.

===Diachronical processes===
Several sound changes affected Western Yugur phonology while evolving from its original [[Common Turkic]] form, the most prolific being:

====Vowels====
* High vowels were delabialized in non-initial syllables: CT *tütün > *tütin > WYu ''tuʰtïn'' "to smoke", CT *altun'' > *altïn > WYu ''aʰltïm'' "gold"
* CT *u was lowered to WYu ''o'' in some words, most commonly around velars and ''r'': CT *burun > WYu ''pʰorn'' "before, front"
* All high vowels were merged - as front vowels in palatal contexts, and as back otherwise: CT *üčün > WYu ''utɕin'' "with, using", CT *yïlan > WYu ''yilan'' "snake"
** This had several consequences:
**# It made the Common Turkic allophonic difference between *k and *q phonemic.
**# Vowel harmonic class of resulting words was thus determined lexically in Western Yugur.
**# Former vowel harmonic suffixes with high vowels became invariable: CT: *-Ki/*-Kï > WYu ''-Kï'' "attributive noun suffix"
* Front vowels *ä, *e, *ö were raised to *i, *ü except before *r, *l, *ŋ and (excluding *ö) *g: CT *ärän > WYu ''erin'' "man", CT *kȫk > WYu ''kük'', CT *-lar/*-lär > WYu ''-lar''/''-lir'' "plural suffix"
* CT *ay is reflected as WYu ''ey''~''e'' in the initial syllable and as ''i'' otherwise.
* In the initial syllable exclusively, short vowels acquire pre-aspiration of the following consonant, length distinction is otherwise lost.

====Consonants====
* As in most Turkic language, initial *b was assimilated to *m in words containing nasals.
* Initial plosives and affricates, CT *b, *t, *k, *g, *č, are all reflected as voiceless with unpredictable aspiration: CT *temir > WYu ''temïr'', CT *bog- > WYu ''pʰoɣ-'' "to tie with a rope"
* Labials are merged into *w intervocally and after liquids which later in some cases forms diphthongs or get elided: CT *yubaš > WYu ''yüwaʂ'' "calm", CT *harpa > WYu ''harwa'' "barley"
* Finally and in most consonant clusters *p is preserved and *b elided.
* Dental and velar voiceless plosives are preserved in most positions, with aspiration occurring almost exclusively in the initial position.
* CT *g is spirantized into ''ɣ'' and CT *d into ''z''.
* With some exceptions, CT *š develops into ''s'': CT *tāš > WYu ''tas'' "stone"
* CT *z is preserved, except for devoicing when final in polysyllabic words: CT *otuz > WYu ''oʰtïs'' "thirty"
* CT *č generally becomes WYu ''š'' in syllable codas.
* CT *ñ develops into WYu ''y''; initial CT *y- is mostly preserved; CT *h- is seemingly preserved in some words but the extent to which WYu ''h-'' corresponds to it is unclear.

==Vocabulary==
Western Yugur is the only Turkic language that preserved the [[anticipating counting system]], known from [[Old Turkic]].

For centuries, the Western Yugur language has been in [[language contact|contact]] with Mongolic languages, [[Standard Tibetan|Tibetan]], and Chinese, and as a result has adopted a large amount of [[loanword]]s from these languages, as well as grammatical features. Chinese dialects neighboring the areas where Yugur is spoken have influenced the Yugur language, giving it loanwords.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xGZedef70zAC&pg=PA664&dq=yellow+uyghurs&hl=en&ei=XyDPTK34N8b_lgeZxt3nCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEEQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=The Handbook of Language Contact|author=Raymond Hickey|year=2010|publisher=John Wiley and Sons|location=|page=664|isbn=1-4051-7580-X|pages=|accessdate=2010-10-31}}</ref>

==Grammar==
Personal markers in [[noun]]s as well as in [[verb]]s were largely lost. In the verbal system, the notion of [[evidentiality]] has been [[grammaticalisation|grammaticalised]], seemingly under the influence of Tibetan.

The '''National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan''' ('''NSC''') is an intelligence agency in [[Kazakhstan]].<ref name="CACI"/> It was founded on 13 July 1992.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.knb.kz/page.php?page_id=72&lang=2&article_id=3437&fontsize=12&fontfamily=Times%20New%20Roman&page=1|title=Adequately react to modern threats|publisher=National Security Committee|publication-place=Kazakhstan|date=2007-07-13|accessdate=2009-08-01}}</ref>

==History==
The NSC was created in accordance with a law passed by parliament in July 1992 which authorised the establishment of an agency to replace the [[KGB]], the old national security apparatus of the [[Soviet Union]]. Initially, it retained most of the staff which the KGB had employed in Kazakhstan, as well as the powers the KGB had held; its first head, [[Bulat Baekenov]], had worked for the KGB for over two decades. Its early years were marked by close cooperation with Russia on issues of border security and counter-intelligence against alleged foreign spies.<ref name="Knight161"/> In December 1995, a new presidential decree modified some of the NSC's powers.<ref>{{citation|title=Об органах национальной безопасности Республики Казахстан|periodical=Ведомости Верховного Совета Республики Казахстан|date=1995-12-21|volume=24|number=157|url=http://www.pavlodar.com/zakon/?dok=00070&ogl=all|accessdate=2010-01-28}}</ref>

In November 2008, journalist [[Ramazan Yesergepov]] published an article entitled "Who Rules the Country: President or National Security Committee?" It contained private NSC correspondence which was later listed as classified, resulting in his 2009 arrest and conviction on security charges.<ref name="Ferghana20090111">{{citation|url=http://enews.fergananews.com/news.php?id=929|periodical=[[Ferghana Information Agency]]|title=Kazakhstan: Journalist Ramazan Yesergepov faces the prospect of spending the next 8 years behind the bars|date=2009-01-11|accessdate=2011-04-20}}</ref> The case led to domestic and international condemnation.<ref name="SeattleTimes">{{citation|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2009652242_apaskazakhstanjailededitor.html|periodical=Seattle Times|date=2009-08-13|accessdate=2011-04-20|title=Kazakhstan court refuses to free jailed editor|last=Leonard|first=Peter}}</ref><ref>{{citation|periodical=Daily Times of Pakistan|title=Rights group raps Kazakh record before OSCE summit|url=http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010%5C12%5C01%5Cstory_1-12-2010_pg14_4|date=2010-12-01|accessdate=2011-04-20}}</ref>

In January 2010, Kazakhstani president [[Nursultan Nazarbaev]] appointed his nephew Samat Abish as the NSC's head of human resources; opposition lawmaker [[Serikbolsyn Abdildin]] of the [[Communist Party of Kazakhstan]] claimed this shows that Nazarbaev considers personal loyalty more important than skill in government posts.<ref name="Nephew"/>

The NSC includes the Arystan ('Lions') commando unit.<ref>{{citation|periodical=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|url=http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1143579.html|date=2006-02-22|accessdate=2010-12-13|title=Suspects in slaying of opposition leader reportedly from Kazakh security service}}</ref>
