DEVELOPMENT OF LITERATURE AND FOLKLORE BY
UYGHUR TURKS
Abstract: 
A distance of 4 thousand kilometers separates Xin- 
jaing-Uyghur Autonomous Region of China People’s Republic 
(Xinjaing Uyghur Autonomous region) from Azerbaijan. Probab- 
ly, either our unique origin or historical processes determined 
similarities in our fates. Although our relations do not catch up 
with today’s world speed, titles of our literary works and their 
contents resemble based on the fact that we have blood-memory. 
Most of our toponyms and special names are the same.
Today our compatriots living in China are called 
Uyghurs
, 
while we are called 
Azerbaijanis.
Seperate (almost isolated from 
each other) history, history of literature, history of language was 
created for each of us. In fact until the twentieth century the diffe- 
rence between the Uyghur and the Uzbek literature was as bigger 
as the difference between the literature of Azerbaijani Turks and 
the Ottoman Turks. For this reason they were mostly called 
Oghuz and Jighatay. These two groups had minor differences. It 
is possible to encounter works written in Jighatay Turkic by our 
poets from the nineteenth century whereas Uzbek poets created 
several works in Oghuz Turkic until the twentieth century.
Political events in the world, plans of ruling strategists which 
kept us under influence served to deepen the differences we had. 
Thus, such terms as Uyghur literature, Uyghur prose, Uyghur poet- 
ry, Uyghur drama, etc. emerged. The Uyghur writers mastered gen- 
res of European literature by observing the world development 
either with the help of their brothers who were under Russian in- 
fluence or directly through Russia. As a result modem Uyghur dra- 
ma and Uyghur theatre emerged leading to the fame of Uyghur dra- 
maturgy. Nowadays Uyghur language and literature develops in 
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
