Many scholars supported this idea after identifying what they believed to be non-Turkic words (particularly <a href="/wiki/Paleosiberian_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Paleosiberian languages">Palaeo-Siberian</a>) among the Kyrgyz preserved in Chinese records.<sup id="cite_ref-drompp_32-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-drompp-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ligeti cited the opinions of various scholars who had proposed to see them as assimilated <a href="/wiki/Germanic_peoples" title="Germanic peoples">Germanic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Early_Slavs" title="Early Slavs">Slav</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Ket_people" title="Ket people">Ket</a>, while he himself, following Castrén and Schott, favoured an assimilated <a href="/wiki/Samoyedic_peoples" title="Samoyedic peoples">Samoyed</a> origin on the basis of an etymology for a supposed Kyrgyz word <i>qaša</i> or <i>qaš</i> for "iron".

As Ligeti himself admitted, other evidence about the Kirghiz language in <a href="/wiki/Tang_dynasty" title="Tang dynasty">Tang</a> sources shows clearly that at that time they were Turkic speaking and there is no earlier evidence at all about their language. Even the word qaša or qaš may, I think, be Turkic. The <a href="/wiki/Tongdian" title="Tongdian">Tongdian</a> says: "Whenever the sky rains iron, they gather it and use it. They call it jiasha (LMC kiaa-şaa). They make knives and swords with it that are very sharp." The Tang Huiyao is the same except that it leaves out the foreign word jiasha. "Raining iron" must surely refer to <a href="/wiki/Meteorite" title="Meteorite">meteorites</a>. The editor who copied the passage into the <a href="/wiki/Xin_Tangshu" class="mw-redirect" title="Xin Tangshu">Xin Tangshu</a> unfortunately misunderstood it and changed it to, "Whenever it rains, their custom is always to get iron," which is rather nonsensical. Ligeti unfortunately used only the Xin Tangshu passage without referring to the Tongdian. His restoration of qaša or qaš seems quite acceptable but I doubt that word simply meant "iron". It seems rather to refer specifically to "meteorite" or "<a href="/wiki/Meteoric_iron" title="Meteoric iron">meteoric iron</a>".</p></blockquote> <p>American Turkologist Michael Drompp notes that the connection between language and race is highly inconclusive and the physical appearance of the Kyrgyz is no more credible an indicator of non-Turkic origin than a few possibly non-Turkic words in their lexicon, whose presence can be explained through linguistic borrowing. Yenisei Kyrgyz inscriptions in the eighth century and later are written completely in the Turkic language and Tang Chinese sources clearly state that the Kyrgyz wrote and spoke a language identical to the Uyghurs. Drompp states that there is no reason to assume the Kyrgyz were non-Turkic in origin, although such a possibility cannot be discounted.<sup id="cite_ref-drompp_32-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-drompp-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to Lee & Kuang, who cite Chinese historical descriptions as well as genetic data, the turcophone "Qirghiz" may have been of non-Turkic origin, and were later Turkified through inter-tribal marriage. The Kyrgyz were described in the <i>You yang za zu</i> by Duan Chengshi in the 9th century AD as people with yellow hair, green eyes, and red beards. According to Duan, the Kyrgyz were not of wolf descent, unlike the Turks, and were born in a cave north of Quman Mountain as the offspring of a god and a cow. The <i><a href="/wiki/New_Book_of_Tang" title="New Book of Tang">New Book of Tang</a></i> (11th century) did not consider the Kyrgyz to be the same as the Tiele tribes but states that they had the same language and script as the Uyghurs.

They looked similar to the neighboring "Boma tribe" (<a href="/wiki/Basmyl" title="Basmyl">Basmyl</a>), who did not share the same language, implying that the Kyrgyz may have originally been a non-Turkic people.

The most serious attempt to explain these forms seems still to be that of <a href="/wiki/Paul_Pelliot" title="Paul Pelliot">Paul Pelliot</a> in 1920. Pelliot suggested that <a href="/wiki/Middle_Chinese" title="Middle Chinese">Middle Chinese</a> -t stands for Turkic -z, which would be quite unusual and would need supporting evidence, but then his references to <a href="/wiki/Mongol" class="mw-redirect" title="Mongol">Mongol</a> plurals in -t suggest that he thinks that the name of the Kirghiz, like that of the Turks, first became known to the Chinese through Mongol speaking intermediaries. There is still less plausibility in the suggestion that the Kirghiz, who first became known as a people conquered by that <a href="/wiki/Xiongnu" title="Xiongnu">Xiongnu</a> and then re-emerged associated with other Turkic peoples in the 6th century, should have had Mongol style suffixes attached to all the various forms of their name that were transcribed into Chinese up to the 9th century. </p><p>The change of <i>r</i> to <i>z</i> in Turkic which is implied by the Chinese forms of the name Kirghiz should not give any comfort to those who want to explain <a href="/wiki/Mongolian_language" title="Mongolian language">Mongolian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tungusic_languages" title="Tungusic languages">Tungusic</a> cognates with <i>r</i> as Turkic <a href="/wiki/Loanword" title="Loanword">loanwords</a>. The peoples mentioned in sources of the <a href="/wiki/Han_Chinese" title="Han Chinese">Han</a> period that can be identified as Turkic were the <a href="/wiki/Dingling" title="Dingling">Dingling</a> (later <a href="/wiki/Tiele_people" title="Tiele people">Tiele</a>, from whom the <a href="/wiki/Uyghurs" title="Uyghurs">Uyghurs</a> emerged), the Jiankun (later Kirghiz), the Xinli (later Sir/<a href="/wiki/Xueyantuo#Xue" title="Xueyantuo">Xue</a>), and possibly also the Hujie or Wujie, were all, at that period, north and west of the Xiongnu in general area where we find the Kirghiz at the beginning of Tang. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1246091330"><table

Their ancestors were born in a cave located to the north of the Quman Mountain. They themselves say that in the ancient times there was a god who mated with a cow in that cave. The people's hair is yellow, eyes are green, and beards are red. The Qirghiz are distinguished from the Uighurs and other Tiele tribes in Chinese histories. The Xin Tangshu, which provides detailed information on the Qirghiz and the Tiele tribes, does not include the former among the latter (Xin Tangshu 217b.6139–6145). In addition, while the Xin Tangshu states that 'their language and script were identical to those of the Uighurs (其文字言語，與回鶻正同)' (Xin Tangshu 217b.6148), it also notes the peculiar physical phenotype of the Qirghiz. The Xin Tangshu relates: 'The people are all tall and big and have red hair, white faces, and green eyes (人皆長大，赤髮、皙面、綠瞳)' (Xin Tangshu, 217b.6147).25 According to the Xin Tangshu, their neighbouring tribe named Boma (駁馬) or Bila (弊剌) resembled the Qirghiz, although their language was different (Xin Tangshu 217b.6146). This may imply that the Qirghiz were originally a non-Turkic people26 who became Turkicized during the Kök Türk period at least partly through inter-tribal marriages.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Inner+Asia&rft.atitle=A+Comparative+Analysis+of+Chinese+Historical+Sources+and+y-dna+Studies+with+Regard+to+the+Early+and+Medieval+Turkic+Peoples&rft.volume=19&rft.issue=2&rft.pages=197-239&rft.date=2017-10-18&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1163%2F22105018-12340089&rft.issn=2210-5018&rft.aulast=Lee&rft.aufirst=Joo-Yup&rft.au=Kuang%2C+Shuntu&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbrill.com%2Fview%2Fjournals%2Finas%2F19%2F2%2Farticle-p197_197.xml&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AYenisei+Kyrgyz" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTELeeKuang2017204-205-35"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTELeeKuang2017204-205_35-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFLeeKuang2017">Lee & Kuang 2017</a>, p. 204-205.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-anthology-36"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-anthology_36-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFScott_Cameron_Levi,_Ron_Sela2010" class="citation book cs1">Scott Cameron Levi, Ron Sela (2010). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=SAX5ohFkcVgC&pg=PA30">"Chapter 4, Discourse on the Qïrghïz Country"</a>. <i>Islamic Central Asia: An Anthology of Historical Sources</i>.
