Fuyü Gïrgïs or Fu-Yu Kirgiz is the easternmost Turkic language. It is spoken in northeastern China's Heilongjiang province, in and around Fuyü County, Qiqihar, which is located approximately 300 km northwest of Harbin. Fuyü Gïrgïs is spoken by a small number of passive speakers, and is not a dialect of Kyrgyz; the similar name is likely due to the survival of a common tribal name among both groups. Pioneering fieldwork on the language has been done by Hu Zhen-hua and G. Imart.
