One thing that has not got enough attention: the new "Uyghur language and literature" textbooks that replaced the supposedly subversive (CCP approved) old ones, teach Uyghur language with old Chinese lit translated into modern Uyghur. Uyghur literature itself was mostly cut.https://twitter.com/AndersonEliseM/status/1378025771411865603 …
Noob question: does the Uighur literary tradition itself tie into Chagatai, or does it have different roots?

It does tie into Chagatai but it has older roots.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irk_Bitig
