Kyakhta Russian–Chinese Pidgin was a contact language (specifically a pidgin) used by Russian and Chinese traders to communicate during the 18th-early 20th century. The pidgin owes its name to the town of Kyakhta, a Russian town on the border with the Qing Empire's Outer Mongolia, which for more than a century after its foundation in 1728 was the most important border trading point.[2]
In Russian it is known as Кяхтинский язык Kjahtinskij jazyk (Kyakhtian language), in Chinese 中俄混合語 (中俄混合语) zhōng'ěhùnhéyŭ (Chinese–Russian mixed language).
