Musa Sayrami
Mulla Musa Sayrami (; ; 1836–1917) was a historian from
Xinjiang, known for his account of the events in that region in the 19th century, in particular the
Dungan Rebellion of 1864–1877. While the
ethnonym Uyghurs, with its modern meaning, was not yet used in Musa Sayrami's day, he probably would be called a Uyghur if he lived a few decades later, based on his place of birth and the language of his literary works.
