The Dungan in the former Soviet republics are Hui who fled China in the aftermath of the [[Hui Minorities' War]] (also known as the "Dungan Rebellion") in the 19th century. According to Rimsky-Korsakoff (1992), three separate groups of the Hui people fled to the Russian Empire across the [[Tian Shan]] mountains during the exceptionally severe winter of 1877/78 after the end of the Hui Minorities' War:
# The first group, of some 1000 people, originally from [[Turpan]] in [[Xinjiang]], led by Ma Daren (馬大人, 'the Great Man Ma'), also known as Ma Da-lao-ye (馬大老爺, 'the Great Master Ma'), reached [[Osh]] in Southern [[Kyrgyzstan]].
# The second group, originally from Didaozhou (狄道州) in Gansu, led by ''[[ahong]]'' Ma Yusuf (馬郁素夫),<ref>As per Ma Tong (2003)</ref> also known as Ah Ye Laoren (阿爺老人, 'the Old Man O'Granpa'), were settled in the spring of 1878 in the village of Yrdyk ({{langx|ru|Ирдык}} or Ырдык) some 15&nbsp;km from [[Karakol]] in Eastern Kyrgyzstan. They numbered 1130 on arrival.
# The third group, originally from [[Shaanxi]], led by [[Bai Yanhu]] (白彦虎; also spelt Bo Yanhu; often called by his followers "虎大人", 'The Great Man Hu (Tiger)', 1829(?)-1882), one of the leaders of the rebellion, were settled in the village of Karakunuz (now [[Masanchi]]), in modern [[Zhambyl Province]] of Kazakhstan. It is 8&nbsp;km north of the city [[Tokmok|Tokmak]] in northwestern [[Kyrgyzstan]]{{Relevance inline|reason=Does clarifying this add anything?|date=November 2024}}. This group numbered 3314 on arrival. Bai Yanhu's name in other romanizations was Bo-yan-hu or Pai Yen-hu; other names included Boyan-akhun ([[Akhund]] or [[Imam]] Boyan) and Muhammad Ayyub.<ref>{{cite book

The next wave of immigration followed in the early 1880s. In accordance with the terms of the [[Treaty of Saint Petersburg (1881)]], which required the withdrawal of the Russian troops from the Upper [[Ili River|Ili]] basin (the [[Yining|Kulja]] area), the Dungan (Hui) and [[Taranchi]] ([[Uyghurs|Uyghur]]) people of the region were allowed to opt to move to the Russian side of the border. Many chose to do so; according to Russian statistics, 4,682 Hui moved to the Russian Empire under the treaty. They migrated in many small groups between 1881 and 1883, settling in the village of [[Sokuluk]] some 30&nbsp;km west of [[Bishkek]], as well as in a number of locations between the Chinese border and Sokuluk, in southeastern [[Kazakhstan]] and in northern [[Kyrgyzstan]].

In the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet states, the Dungans continue to refer to themselves as the ''Hui people'' ({{zh|c=[[:zh:回族|回族]]}}, Huízú; in Cyrillic Soviet Dungan spelling, xуэйзў).

The name ''Dungan'' is of obscure origin. One popular theory derives this word from Turkic ''döñän'' ("one who turns"), which can be compared to Chinese [[wiktionary:回|回]] (huí), which has a similar meaning. Another theory derives it from the Chinese 东甘 (Dong Gan), 'Eastern [[Gansu]]', the region to which many of the Dungan can trace their ancestry; however the character ''gan'' (干) used in the name of the ethnic group is different from that used in the name of the province (甘).

The term "Dungan" ("Tonggan", "Donggan") has been used by Central Asian [[Turkic languages|Turkic]]-and Tajik-speaking people to refer to Chinese-speaking Muslims for several centuries. [[Joseph Fletcher (historian)|Joseph Fletcher]] cites Turkic and Persian manuscripts related to the preaching of the 17th century [[Kashgar]]ian [[Sufi]] master [[Muhammad Yusuf Khoja|Muhammad Yūsuf]] (or, possibly, his son [[Afaq Khoja]]) inside the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming Empire]] (in today's Gansu and/or [[Qinghai]]), where the Kashgarian preacher is told to have converted '''ulamā-yi Tunganiyyān'' (i.e., "Dungan [[ulema]]") into [[Sufism]].<ref name=lipman>{{cite book

Presumably, it was from the Turkic languages that the term was borrowed into Russian (дунгане, ''dungane'' (pl.); дунганин, ''dunganin'' (sing.)) and Chinese ({{zh|s=东干族|t=東干族|p=Dōnggānzú}}), as well as to Western European languages.

In English and German, the [[ethnonym]] "Dungan", in various spellings, has been attested as early as the 1830s, typically referring to the Hui people of Xinjiang. For example, [[James Prinsep]] in 1835 mentioned Muslim "Túngánis" in "Chinese Tartary".<ref>James Prinsep, "Memoir on Chinese Tartary and Khoten".

The word (mostly in the form "Dungani" or "Tungani", sometimes "Dungens" or "Dungans") acquired some currency in English and other western languages when a number of books in the 1860-1870s discussed the [[Dungan revolt (1862–1877)|Dungan rebellion]] in [[northwestern China]]. At the time, European and American authors applied the term ''Tungani'' to the Hui people both in Xinjiang,<ref>
For example, [[Thomas Edward Gordon]] writes of "Tunganis" with ''taifu'' wall pieces (small cannons) guarding the walls of [[Yakub Beg of Yettishar|Yaqub Beg]]'s capital [[Kashgar]] (in today's Western Xinjiang) in his book [https://archive.org/stream/roworldanarrati00gordgoog/roworldanarrati00gordgoog_djvu.txt ''The roof of the world: being a narrative of a journey over the high plateau of Tibet to the Russian frontier and the Oxus sources on Pamir'']. A ''[[The Times|Times]]'' journalist in "[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article883063 Russia and China in Central Asia]" (reprinted by ''The [[Brisbane Courier]]'', Wednesday 8 January 1879) distinguishes "the Tungan Country" (today, eastern Xinjiang) and "Eastern Turkestan" (corresponding to [[Yakub Beg of Yettishar|Yaqub Beg]]'s state in today's western Xinjiang). He talks about "the Tungani who had erected in the various cities of [[Hami City|Hami]]l, [[Barkol County|Barkul]], [[Qitai County|Guchen]], [[Urumqi|Urumtsi]], and [[Manas County|Manas]] a confederacy of no mean power".</ref>
and in [[Shaanxi]] and Gansu (which at the time included today's [[Ningxia]] and [[Qinghai]] as well). Authors aware of the general picture of the spread of [[Islam]] in China, viewed these "Tungani" as just one of the groups of China's Muslims.<ref>See e.g. an anonymous article, "[https://digital.library.cornell.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=livn;idno=livn0145-9 Mohammedanism in China]", in ''The Living age'', Volume 145, Issue 1876. 29 May 1880. Pp. 515–525. Reprinted from the [[Edinburgh Review]]. While using "Mohammedans" as the generic description of Chinese Muslim's throughout the article (including e.g., the [[Panthays]] then recently [[Panthay rebellion|rebelling]] in [[Yunnan]]), the author describes "[a]n [[Dungan revolt (1862–1877)|insurrection]], beginning in [[Xi'an|Singan-fu]], and spreading to [[Gansu|Kan-suh]] in 1862, in which the Tungani (a mysterious race of Muslims dwelling in that region, supposed to be the remnant of the armies of [[Kublai Khan]]) were the chief actors" (p. 524).</ref>

[[Marshall Broomhall]], who has a chapter on "the Tungan Rebellion" in his 1910 book, introduces "the name Tungan or Dungan, by which the Muslims of these parts [i.e., NE China] are designated, as distinguished from the Chinese Buddhists who were spoken of as Kithay." The reference to "[[Names of China|Kithay]]" shows that he was observing the two terms as used by Turkic speakers.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Islam in China: a neglected problem|first=Marshall|last=Broomhall|year=1910|publisher=China Inland Mission
|oclc=347514|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_ObcNAAAAIAAJ|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_ObcNAAAAIAAJ/page/n178 147]}}. A 1966 reprint by Paragon Book Reprint is available. Relatedly, the Russian word for China is also Kitai ({{lang|ru|China}}), and in Chinese is kitaitsy ({{lang|ru|китайцы}}), a label that is not applied to the Dungans ({{lang|ru|дунгане}} in an ethnic sense; that is, Dungans and kitaitsi (Chinese) were regarded as different ethnic groups or nationalities.</ref> Broomhall's book also contains a translation of the report on Chinese Muslims by the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] writer named Abd-ul-Aziz. Abd-ul-Aziz divides the "Tungan people" into two branches: "the Tunagans of China proper" (including, apparently all Hui people in "[[China proper]]", as he also talks e.g. about the Tungans having 17 mosques in Beijing), and "The Tungans of Chinese and Russian Turkestan", who still looked and spoke Chinese, but had often also learned the [[Uyghur language|"Turkish" language]].<ref>{{harvnb|Broomhall|1910|p=260}}</ref>

Later authors continued to use the term Dungan (in various transcriptions) for, specifically, the Hui people of Xinjiang.
For example, [[Owen Lattimore]], writing c. 1940, maintains the terminological distinction between these two related groups: "T'ungkan" (i.e. [[Wade-Giles]] for "Dungan"), described by him as the descendants of the Gansu Hui people resettled in Xinjiang in 17–18th centuries, vs. e.g. "Gansu Moslems" or generic "Chinese Moslems".<ref>[[Owen Lattimore]]. ''Inner Asian Frontiers of China''. Page 183 in the 1951 edition.</ref> The term (usually as "Tungans") continues to be used by many modern historians writing about the 19th century [[Dungan revolt (1862–1877)|Dungan Rebellion]] (e.g., by [[Denis C. Twitchett]] in [[The Cambridge History of China]],<ref>{{Cite book|first=Denis Crispin |last=Twitchett|publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=1978

|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=pEfWaxPhdnIC |pages=215–242}}. Twitchett's definition (p. 215) is in line with the authors of 1870s–1880s, rather than with that of more recent Lattimore: for Twitchett, "Tungans" include the Huis of [[Shaanxi]] and Gansu as well, not just of Xinjiang</ref> by James A.

===Dungan villages in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan===
The Dungans themselves referred to Karakunuz ({{langx|ru|Каракунуз}}, sometimes Караконыз or Караконуз) as "Ingpan" ({{zh|c=營盤}}, Yingpan<!--; Dungan: Инпан-->; {{langx|ru|Иньпан}}), which means 'a camp, an encampment'. In 1965, Karakunuz was renamed [[Masanchi]] (sometimes spelt as "Masanchin"), after [[Magaza Masanchi]] or Masanchin (Dungan: Магәзы Масанчын; {{zh|c=馬三奇}}), a Dungan participant in the [[Communist Revolution]] and a statesman of Soviet Kazakhstan.<ref name="mpg">{{Cite web

| quote = Right after Bi Yankhu’s arrival, from 1878 until 1903, the village was called ‘Karakunuz’, meaning ‘black beetle’ in local Turkic languages. Dyer (1992) believes that this was a nickname given by local Turkic-speakers to Dungans, due to the fact that Dungan women liked to wear black at that time. In 1903 the name changed to ‘Nikolaevka’ (after the Russian Tsar) and it changed again in 1918, when the name ‘Karakunuz’ was again adopted, and did not change until 1964, when, as part of the rehabilitation of Magaza Masanchi, the village was renamed after him: ‘Masanchi’. Besides these official names, Masanchi also has a Dungan name, Yinpan, which appears in the left image on the wall7.

As Ding (2005) notes, "[t]he Dungan people derive from China's Hui people, and now live mainly in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Their population is about 110,000. This people have now developed a separate ethnicity outside China, yet they have close relations with the Hui people in culture, ethnic characteristics and ethnic identity."

==Language==
{{Main|Dungan language}}
{{See also|Xiao'erjing|Sini (script)}}
The Dungan language, which the Dungan people call the "Hui language" (Хуэйзў йүян/回族語言 or ''Huejzw jyian''), is similar to the [[Zhongyuan Mandarin|Zhongyuan dialect of Mandarin Chinese]], which is widely spoken in the south of Gansu and the west of [[Guanzhong]] in [[Shaanxi]] in China.

Like other [[varieties of Chinese]], Dungan is tonal. There are two main dialects, one with four tones and the other, considered standard, with three tones in the final position in words and four tones in the non-final position.

Some Dungan vocabulary may sound archaic to Chinese people. For example, they refer to a President as an "[[Emperor of China|Emperor]]" (Хуаңды/皇帝, ''huan'g-di'') and call government offices ''[[yamen]]'' (ямын/衙門, ''ya-min''), a term for mandarins' offices in ancient China. Their language also contains many loanwords from [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Turkic languages|Turkic]]. Since the 1940s, the language has been written in [[Cyrillic script]], though the language has historically also used [[Chinese characters]] and [[Xiao'erjing]] ([[Arabic script]] used for Chinese), though these are now considered obsolete.

Dungan people are generally [[multilingual]]. In addition to Dungan Chinese, more than two-thirds of the Dungan speak [[Russian language|Russian]] and a small proportion can speak [[Kyrgyz language|Kyrgyz]] or other languages belonging to the [[titular nationality|titular nationalities]] of the countries where they live.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hum.uit.no/a/trond/sintr.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=1 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081020191853/http://www.hum.uit.no/a/trond/sintr.html |archive-date=20 October 2008 }}.</ref>

Nineteenth century explorer [[Henry Lansdell]] noted that the Dungan people abstained from spirits and [[opium]], neither smoked nor took [[snuff (tobacco)|snuff]] and
<blockquote>"are of middle height, and inclined to be stout. They have high and prominent foreheads, thick and arched eyebrows, eyes rather sunken, fairly prominent cheek-bones, face oval, mouth of average size, lips thick, teeth normal, chin round, ears small and compressed, hair black and smooth, beard scanty and rough, skin smooth, neck strong, and extremities of average proportions. The characteristics of the Dungans are kindness, industry, and hospitality.
They engage in husbandry, horticulture, and trade. In domestic life parental authority is very strong. After the birth of a child the mother does not get up for fifteen days, and, without any particular feast, the child receives its name in the presence of a [[mullah]] the day succeeding that of its birth. Circumcision takes place on the eighth, ninth, or tenth day. When a girl is married she receives a [[dowry|dower]]. In sickness they have recourse to medicine and doctors, but never to [[exorcism]]s. 
After death, the mullah and the aged assemble to recite prayers; the corpse is wrapped in white linen and then buried, but never burned. On returning from the interment the mullah and the elders partake of bread and meat. To saints they erect monuments like little mosques, for others simple hillocks. The widow may re-marry after 90 days, and on the third anniversary of the death a feast takes place."<ref name="Lansdell1885">{{cite book|author=Henry Lansdell|title=Russian Central Asia: Including Kuldja, Bokhara, Khiva and Merv|url=https://archive.org/details/russiancentrala01lansgoog|year=1885|publisher=Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington|pages=[https://archive.org/details/russiancentrala01lansgoog/page/n250 209]–10}}</ref></blockquote>

The Dungan are primarily farmers, growing rice and vegetables such as sugar beet. Many also raise dairy cattle. In addition, some are involved in [[opium]] production. The Dungan tend to be [[endogamous]].{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}

The Dungan are well known for their hospitality and hold many ceremonies and banquets to preserve their culture. They have elaborate and colorful observances of birthdays, weddings, and funerals. In addition, schools have museums to preserve other parts of their culture, such as embroidery, traditional clothing, silver jewelry, paper cuts of animals and flowers and tools.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}

The Dungan still practice elements of Chinese culture, in cuisine and attire, up to 1948 they also practiced [[foot binding]] until the practice was banned by the Soviet government, and later the Chinese government.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OWMyFWAZLCwC&q=dungan+foot+binding&pg=PA31|title=Central Asia and the Caucasus: transnationalism and diaspora|author1=Touraj Atabaki |author2=Sanjyot Mehendale |year=2005|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=0-415-33260-5|page=31|access-date=1 January 2011}}</ref> The conservative Shaanxi Dungan cling more tightly to Chinese customs than the Gansu Dungan.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bVZwAAAAMAAJ&q=The+Dungans+who+originate+in+Shaanxi+are+often+considered+to+be+the+most+faithful+to+%22tradition|title=China perspectives, Issues 27–32|author=French Centre for Research on Contemporary China|year=2000|publisher=C.E.F.C.|page=68|access-date=1 January 2011}}</ref>

The Dungans have retained Chinese traditions which have disappeared in modern China. [[Traditional Chinese marriage|Traditional marriage]] practices are still widespread with matchmakers, the marriages conducted by the Dungan are similar to Chinese marriages in the 19th century, hairstyles worn by women and attire date back to the Qing dynasty.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pCiNqFj3MQsC&q=shaanxi+dungan+marriage&pg=PA195|title=Encyclopedia of the Peoples of Asia and Oceania, Volume 1|author=Barbara A.

{{see also|Hui pan-nationalism}}
During the [[Qing dynasty]], the term Zhongyuanren ({{zh|c=中原人|l=A person from the [[Zhongyuan|Central Plains of China]]|labels=no}}) was synonymous with being mainstream Chinese, especially referring to [[Han Chinese]] and Hui Muslims in Xinjiang or Central Asia.

For religious reasons, while Hui people do not consider themselves Han and are not Han Chinese, they consider themselves part of the wider Chinese race and refer to themselves as Zhongyuanren.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-lZIAAAAMAAJ&q=Similarities+between+the+Hui+and+Han+are+so+great+that+many+observers+have+concluded+the+Hui+to+be+%22not+a+separate+race+from+the+Han%22+but+only+%22Han+who+believe+in+Islam.+'+'+This+is+incorrect.+Hui+agree+they+are+Chinese+(Zhongyuan-+ren)+...|title=Muslim peoples: a world ethnographic survey, Volume 1|author=Richard V.

Zhongyuanren was used generally by Turkic Muslims to refer to Han and Hui Chinese people.
