# Language blow for China’s Muslims
Chinese authorities have ordered the top university in the western province of Xinjiang to stop teaching courses in the local Uighur language.
University officials say the change is needed to raise the standard of education at Xinjiang University but Uighur groups are condemning the change as a direct attack on their culture and identity.
For more than 50 years, Xinjiang University has offered its students the choice of learning in Chinese or Uighur, the native tongue to most of the province’s Muslim population.
