Preface

12 this false identification of: Yugria:uygur:Ungarus from Göttingen; the ethnic name Yugar or Yugur undoubtedly fits in well with this row. Otherwise the Tibetan sources were right in having him search for the Yugars on the western borders of China, i.e. in Kansu, because this folk has been living in that very place up till now. In their own language they are called Yögurs or the yellow Yögurs and they are the descendants of an ancient, Turkish people called Uygur settled in Northern China. Their speech is, and has ever been a peculiar kind of Turkish; they had nothing to do with either Yugria or the people of the loolced-for original home of Hungarians. Alexander Körösi Csoma was never to learn this any more. He, at fifty eight, left for northeast, once again took to the road after the illusory original home of the Hungarians. He left but failed to go further than the Darjeeling-graveyard . . . Budapest, May 1973 Lajos Ligeti member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
