The Xinjiang Daily (Chinese: 新疆日报; pinyin: Xīnjiāng Rìbào) is an official publication of the CPC Xinjiang Committee[1] (中共新疆维吾尔自治区委员会) and is published daily by Xinjiang Daily Publishing (新疆日报出版社) at 16 Yangzijiang Road, Saybagh District, Urumqi, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China[1] (中华人民共和国新疆维吾尔自治区乌鲁木齐市沙依巴克区扬子江路16号). The newspaper is notable in that it is published in 4 languages, namely Chinese, which uses Chinese characters (汉文), Uyghur, its modified Arabic script (维文), Mongolian, in the traditional Mongolian script (蒙文) and Kazakh, in its modified Arabic script (哈文).[1] The newspaper includes news that focuses on the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region but also includes a small amount of national and international news.

All main content is written in Chinese and translated into the other anguages. Translated articles in Uyghur, Mongolian and Kazakh take up more space than the original Chinese text. This is partly from the natural phenomenon, text expansion, common to translated material, but font sizes are also larger in the translated versions. The Chinese version typically contains 8 pages in a weekday edition, and the Uyghur, Mongolian, and Kazakh versions contain 4 pages. Since the Uyghur, Mongolian, and Kazakh versions contain fewer pages and take up more space per article, those three versions contain only a selection of the content in the Chinese version.
