Äynu (also Aini Ejnu Abdal) is a Turkic cryptolect spoken in western China known in various spelling as Aini Aynu Ainu Eyni or by the Uyghur Abdal (ئابدال) in Russian sources Эйну́ Айну Абдал by the Chinese as Ainu. Some linguists call it a mixed language having a mostly Turkic grammar essentially Yugur (close to Uyghur) but a mainly Iranian vocabulary. Other linguists argue that it does not meet the technical requirements of a mixed language.
