MidThis article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

Demographics

The numbers don't quite seem to match those in the Salar article or on the Chinese version of the Salar language page. Also, is there such an even divide between Salars who speak Salar and those who speak Chinese, with no overlap? That seems odd.

Salar script

This source claims that the Chinese government did try to provide the Salar with their own script, but the Salar rejected the script in favor of continuing to use Chinese characters.

According to Omniglot.com, the latin script is the one officially approved by Chinese authorities. See http://www.omniglot.com/writing/salar.htm

Al'Beroya (talk) 21:09, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

it would have been nice of omniglot to provide the actual arabic letters in unicode form rather than as an image. Nevertheless, thanks for the find. Its imperative to remove the unofficial Turkish based latin alphabet from wikipedia articles, and replace them with the pinyin based and arabic alphabets. Such as in the Xunhua Salar Autonomous County article.Rajmaan (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Salar spoken language vs literary language

The article confuses spoken and literary languages.

In Medieval Europe, people spoke their local languages among themselves such as Italian, French, Castilian, while not writing them down and using them ad literary languages until much later. They wrote in Latin as their literary language.

In the same way, the Salar do not have an alphabet for their own language. They only speak their language orally, and use the Chinese language to write.
