Dungan

The Dungan are a Chinese Muslim people in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Their ancestors were Hui people who fled there from persecution in China in the 19th century. The name Dungan refers to the eastern part of Gansu Province. The Hui people, distributed across much of western and central China, are also referred to as "Dungans" by Turkic and Tajik peoples.
