Huzhu Mongghul Texts: Chileb1983 - 1996 Selections 

LIMUSISHIDEN (Qinghai Medical College) and KEVIN STUART (Qinghai Junior
Teachers' College), (eds.)

China's Monguor (Tu) nationality (1990 population = 190,000) ,
classified as one of China's fifty-six official ethnic groups, lives
in the east-central portion of Northwest China's Qinghai Province. The
57,000 Huzhu Mongghul (1990) are the largest Monguor group, speaking a
language with many links to Mongol and greatly influenced by Tibetan
culture, especially in the religious arena.
 
An extensive selection of folklore materials written by Huzhu Mongghul
has been published over the last decade in a mimeographed journal. Few
complete collections of this material remain. Huzhu Monggul Texts
presents the great body of this material in a single Mongghul-language
collection with notes and a Table of Contents in English. The Mongghul
written system is based on a modified pinyin system. (Map,
illustrations)
