Want to also note from this report that many of these aren't even being changed to sanitised Uyghur language names, they're being totally mandarinised, even in areas with marginal Han settler populations

A lot of these will ofc be "translated" back into Uyghur by just transliterating the Mandarin into the Perso-Arabic script, as in Urumqi's metro, so any visitors who only see the surface think the languages are still equal

Nothing to see here, just the modernization of a people by their national project... or however it was Vijay Prashad described it
