Bible translations into Uyghur were made in 2005 and 2013, but never occurred before then.
The first modern translation into the Uyghur languagewhich is a cousin and not a descendant of Old Uyghurbegan in the late 19th century, when Johannes Avetaranian, a Turk working with the Swedish Missionary Society, translated the New Testament into Uyghur.
