Lop, also known as Lopnor or Lopnur is a dialect spoken in Xinjiang, China. Its speakers are included as part of the "Uyghur" nationality in the census.

Classification

Lop belongs to the Karluk branch of Turkic languages, along with Uyghur and Uzbek. Its status as a distinct language from Uyghur is disputed. Although it has some features that differentiate it from standard Uyghur, it is considered by some linguists to be one of its dialects.
