Learning Uyghur Blurb: Nuclear Weapons

With Opkehessip busy with some real life activities, Survival Uyghur is on hold and I’m left to inject to the site with some occasional Uyghur language goodness. Sadly, without the pedagogical and linguistic training that Opkehessip has I’m unable to carry on the great Survival Uyghur tradition. However, as a student of the Uyghur language myself I can attempt to translate some short “blurbs” and post them here as a quick reading morsel for any of our readers who are at a mid-beginner level like myself.

Incidentally, the Ürümchi Kechlik Géziti, or Urumqi Evening Newspaper, is a good source for this. Being a Uyghur language publication this newspaper isn’t as elaborate or extensive as the Mandarin language publications of Xinjiang, but for us that’s a good thing because the “international news” section has extremely brief coverage that fits the purpose of this new little TND feature – to give readers an infrequent taste of Uyghur readings from Xinjiang.

Before we begin, I just want to let readers know that for converting Arab characters to Latin ones, I go with the Latin-Script Uyghur Alphabet, or Uyghur Latin Yéziqi, drawn up by Xinjiang Unversity in 2001 to be the official, unified Latin alphabet for the Uyghur language.

Today’s story: The Future Possibility of Theft and Usage of Nuclear Weapons will Increase. I’d like to emphasize here that my level of Uyghur is definitely around beginner so I encourage any readers to make this feature a wiki-sort of process by pointing out any errors or better translations.

Kelgüside Yadro Qorali Oghrilash we Ishlitish Mumkinchiliki Zoriyidu

Shinxua Agéntliqi, Washington, 21-Noyabir Télégrammisi

Amérikining axbarat apparati tünügün élan qilghan doklatta mundaq déyildi: 2025-yiligha barghanda yer sharida yadro qorali ishlitish mumkinchiliki zor derijide éship, dunya téximu köp muqimsizliq amillirining tesirige uchraydu. Kelgüside yadro qorali ishlitish téxnikisimu tereqqiy qilip, kölimi kichik téximu köp urushlarning yüz bérishige sewebchi bolidu. Eger yadro qorali bar döletler köpeyse, bashqa döletlerge yaki térrorchilargha iqtisadiy jehettin yardem bérish mumkinchilikimu éship kétidu. Yadro qorali oghrilash we yötkesh qilmishlirimu köpiyidu.

The Future Possibility of Theft and Usage of Nuclear Weapons will Increase

November 21, from the Xinhua Correspondent in Washington:

Yesterday an American information agency issued a report stating as the year 2025 approaches the global possibility of the use of nuclear weapons will increase to a significant level and the world will come under the influence of even more destabilizing factors. In the future nuclear weapons technology will develop further and small scale nuclear weapons will become responsible for the occurrence of more conflicts. An increase in countries with nuclear weapons will heighten the possibility of providing nuclear assistance to other countries or terrorist organizations and increase the theft and smuggling of nuclear weapons.
