The Khotons were settled in Mongolia by the Oirats when the latter conquered Xinjiang and took their city-dwelling ancestors to Mongolia. According to another version, they settled in Mongolia after 1753, when their leader, the Dörbet Prince Tseren Ubashi, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.[5] According to some scholars, the Khotons are Mongolized Uyghurs as a result.[7]
Unlike most Mongolians, Khotons follow a syncretic form of Islam that incorporates Buddhist and traditional elements (like Tengrism).[8][5] They traditionally avoid intermarriage with other ethnic groups.[5]
Language
Khotons originally spoke a Turkic language. It was spoken up until the 19th century.[4] Once settled in Mongolia, the Khotons adopted the Dörbet or northern dialect of Oirat.[9][8][5]
