"For the Salar, divorce is a very easy procedure, although it can only be requested by the husband. In order to dissolve the marriage, the man only has to tell his wife that he no longer wishes to remain married to her. The woman abandons the conjugal residence and he remains free to be married again." w

no where in islam is this allowed, there has to be an intention which is 3 pronouncements, followed by one month where the women must remain in the house, followed by consultatin with the families to try and resolve the difficulties. If divorce does happen, the man is liable to provide for the wife and children, and he forfeits the initial mahar that was agreed on the marriage.

I've put a request for a source. However, it should be pointed out that what Islam states need not be the behavior of its adherents. It simply cannot be an argument used on a site like Wikipedia - unless the article is about Islam.Beetle B.22:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Salar (pronounced sah'laar) live in Qinghai province, not Gansu. In Xunhua county in Qinghai province there is even an entire Salar town called Jishi. I was told when I was there that the Salar came to China around 800 years ago when the Mongels conquered China. As a reward for assiting the Mongel invasion they were given land in Qinghai to settle.--Discott (talk)16:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The erroneous information about them living in gansu (kansu) probably came from accounts likeMarshall Broomhall's book on Islam in ChinaKuoofra (talk)18:49, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, references to Gansu (Kan-su) in books like Broomhall's are not exactly "erroneous", but rather obsolete. In his day, there was no Qinghai Province, and the NE Qinghai (including Xunhua, the Salar country) was part of the Gansu Province. (As was Ningxia, incidentally). Second, there are some Salars on the Gansu side of the modern Qinghai-Gansu provincial border too, in particular in Gansu'sJishishan Bonan, Dongxiang and Salar Autonomous County. As per China's 2000 Census, as shown inzh:撒拉族#撒拉族人口分布, out of 104,503 Salars counted by the census, 87,043 lived in Qinghai, 11,784 in Gansu, 3,762 in Xinjiang, and a couple of thousands throughout the rest of the country. --Vmenkov (talk)02:00, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

a banned sockpuppetGreczia has been trying to add pictures of caucasoid looking people onto articles about various turkic peoples, such as the salars and kazakhs, the majority of whom look asian. Most images of salars on wikimedia commons are of asian looking people and only one caucasian looking person.

There are many pan turnaist or turkish centric forums and nationalists who try to promote their claims that all turkic peoples look caucasian like anatolianTurkish people, while in reality, turkic peoples like kirghiz, kazakhs, tuvans, yakuts, salars, and Yugur look majority asian.Mendsetting (talk)22:04, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It has been said that the chinese government and scholars have emphasized and blown the salars turkic identity way out of proportion, while marginalizing the tibetan, chinese and other non turkic factors and influences in salar identity and language

Fighting between the Jahriyya and Khafiyya Sufi orders led to a revolt by the Jahriyya, which was heavily dominated by Salars.

The article confuses spoken and literary languages.

In Medieval Europe, people spoke their local languages among themselves such as Italian, French, Castilian, while not writing them down and using them ad literary languages until much later. They wrote in Latin as their literary language.

In the same way, the Salar do not have an alphabet for their own language. They only speak their language orally, and use the Chinese language to write.

The Salar DO have a written language, but 99% of Salar do not use it. For examples of written Salar, see the references in the Salar folklore book as well as the WRITTEN Salar versions of the folklore.— Precedingunsigned comment added by216.151.31.117 (talk)23:44, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
