Uyghur literature - Uyghur literature
Documents written in Turkish (Uighur) that were excavated from Turfan, Hami, Kucha, and Dunhuang in Gansu Province in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China. They are also called Uighur documents. The overwhelming majority of documents have religious content, but they also include so-called secular documents such as certificates and sales contracts. Buddhist scriptures make up the largest number of religious documents. Most of them are translations of Buddhist scriptures from Tocharian, Chinese, Sanskrit, or Sogdian.

Japanese:
中国,新疆ウイグル自治区のトゥルファン(吐魯番),ハミ(哈密),クチャ(庫車)あるいは甘粛省の敦煌などから出土したトルコ語(ウイグル語)で書かれた文献。ウイグル文書ともよばれる。宗教関係の内容をもつ文献が圧倒的多数を占めるが,証文や売買契約書などのいわゆる世俗文書も含まれている。宗教文献中最大量を保っているのは仏典類である。そのほとんどはトカラ語,中国語,サンスクリットあるいはソグド語からの翻訳仏典といってよい。
