Alymbaeva 2016: "Between Sart, Kalmak and Kyrgyz Identity Dynamics in Kyrgyzstan"
Nanzatov 2014: "The Oirats of Kyrgyzstan"


Nanzatov:
- "Sartkalmak" is a Turkic exoethnonym according to Nanzatov (p. 157)
- they emphasise their Oold/Olod background (p. 158)
- they were already Muslim when they arrived from Tekes and Gulja according to their tradition; plus, there is the influence of the context of their patrilocal integration within Kyrgyzia (pp. 158-9)
- "Zaya Pandita’s alphabet" was originally in use, though (p. 162)
- different groups of Oyiraad descendants started to seelf-identify as Kyrgyz "in the Chui Valley, in Naryn, and around Issyk-kul", in "Batkkend and Osh" and in Karategin (p. 158)

Alymbaeva:
- their ancestors were probably already mixed with Kyrgyz when in Tekes and belonged to social networks different from those of Buddhist Oyiraads in Tekes back then (pp. 96-7)




from an old thread which I deleted:

Zhukovskaya (1970's[?] article translated for a publication in 1985): Les Kalmak de l'Issyk-Kul

- p. 91: "six somon olod (oirat)", called "Kara-Kalmak" in the 19th century, settled down in the Karakol, Naryn-gol, Bayn-gol and Gurbo-xabxak valleys
- p. 92: called "Sart Kalmak" since the late 19th century
- p. 93: absorbed Kyrgyz and Uzbeks males into Olod community already in the middle of the 19th century
- p. 95-96: agriculture developed under the influences of Russians and Dungans
- pp. 99-100: according to Miklashevskaya 1956: less pigmentation, less Mongol fold, more beard than Mongols
- p. 100: younger people lacked skills at Mongolic Kalmak tongue in the 1920s (reference to Burdukov 1935); then percentage of Kalmaks who married Kyrgyz rapidly rose; numbers for mother tongues among Sart-Kalmaks in 1970:
-- Kalmak: 403/3587=11,2%
-- Kyrgyz: 3114/3587=86,8%
-- Russian: 42/3587=1,2%
