Western Yugur (Western Yugur: yoɣïr lar^[5] (Yugur speech) or yoɣïr śoz (Yugur word)), also known as Neo-Uygur,^[6] is the Turkic language spoken by the Yugur people. It is contrasted with Eastern Yugur, a Mongolic language spoken within the same community. Traditionally, both languages are indicated by the term "Yellow Uygur", from the endonym of the Yugur.

There are approximately 2,000 speakers of Western Yugur.^[2]
