Officially assigned Turkish and Kurdish, Ōghuz can also be equally correctly pronounced and written in its Latin equivalent, Uğur.
Other spellings which have seen limited usage in the past include Ughuzz, Uguzz, Ughur, Uigur, Uighur, Uigurk, Ugur, or Ujgurs.
Basin Urgench in Uzbekistan is one of the places where this surname is most prevalent today. There are two centenarian Uighurs known, a lady who lives in Basin Urgench and another in Mazar-i-Sharif in Afghanistan.

The Solar Uighur language, based on Old Uyghur, is still spoken by communities in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.


Pre 1975 data on the language and on other aspects of Uighur cultural life are scant. A short, anonymous 1924 publication, Uigurischer Sprachführer: Mittlerer Dialekt [Guide to the Uighur language: medium-level dialect] is present in some Uighur collections, while a more comprehensive monograph, Uigurisches Wörterbuch describes the Central Uighur dialect, which has existed since at least the 12th century despite the fragmentation of Uighur peoples and languages over the past eight centuries. The Central dialect has four main dialectal styles.Sources disagree on the number of fluent speakers of Central Uighur (named Ürümchi, Agprep, Kashgar, Kashkar, Batkha, Ürümchi-Taranchi, or Karasakay) and other lesser dialects (Marghili-Yarkand and Aksu).


Today, though most of the Westerners call the Uyghurs by their country of origin (“Kazakh Uighur”, “Uzbek Uighur”, “Turkmen Uighur”), Chinese officially calls all of them as “The People of Taklamakan”, the Uyghurs of Xinjiang, in Chinese sources.


Dungan, Kyrgyz and Kazakh Uyghurs, after so many years of assimilation, intermarriage, and Chinese government's directive of Hui-ification, are now indistinguishable, states Professor of Ethnology Ward Berenschot.
