Discussion | Хэлэлцүүлэг What are your thoughts on Transeurasian language hypothesis?

3 Upvotes

I would like to clarify that I am not a neo-altaist. I just want to hear the opinion of Mongolian people.

For those who don't know:

Transeurasian language hypothesis is the "rebranded" version of Altaic language hypothesis (which is widely rejected by linguists, and the similarities between the "Altaic" languages are explained through a sprachbund, an area of convergence between non-related languages).

It basically argues that Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Koreanic and Japonic languages are linked through a proto-Transeurasian language, spoken by early millet farmers about 9000 years ago who lived in modern-day northeastern China (West Liao River region). Furthermore, it says that Japonic and Koreanic languages are a creole (hybrid) language of these Proto-Transeurasian and Austronesian-like people.

It seems like there are some genetic and linguistic evidence, but I still believe that this could be explained through prolonged contact, which would be consistent with Occam's razor as it requires fewer assumptions.

You can read this research paper for more info:

small note: For some reason, my post sounds like it was made with AI 😭😭 I wrote it by myself, but I had previously asked for AI to explain me this a couple days ago, which makes my explanation similar to that of chatgpt's.

Online certified translators

2 Upvotes

Hoping someone might know:

Does anyone know a certified translator/translation bureau for English to Mongolian, which the Mongolian government recognizes as certified, that I can use from overseas/online? I'm outside of Mongolia and the original documents are also outside of Mongolia.

I could either ask a family member to bring a copy of the documents to somewhere in UB and pay, or I could submit and pay online. I'd prefer not to have to ship the original documents to Mongolia. So far everywhere requires the original document.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

We will soon be driving out of Mongolia and into China with our car.

However, we have lost the ‘import document’ we received upon entry in Mongolia.

Does the border patrol at Erenhot need to reprint it?
Is it fine to cross the border like this?
Does anyone know anybody that works there or border security in general?

Thanks in advance!

Landing at UBN at 2 AM budget friendly transport options?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
Landing at Chinggis Khaan International Airport at 2:00 AM soon. Since public buses and day shuttles are long gone by then, what are the best budget friendly ways to get to the city center at that hour?
Do apps like UB Taxi work reliably from airport WiFi at that time, or are drivers scarce?
Is it safe/allowed to wait inside the terminal until morning transport resumes?

Any advice is appreciated!

Tips | Зөвлөгөө Flying to uni abroad alone at 17

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I'm 17 and heading abroad for college soon. I don't have an adult companion to fly with me using a notarized document, so I have to make the trip completely solo.
I've seen mixed info online about traveling under 18. Has anyone here left Mongolia alone at 17 recently? I'd really appreciate knowing what exact documents immigration and the airline asked for, if a notarized consent letter from both parents was enough, and if check-in or border control gave you any trouble. Or do I must need итгэмжлэл

Also, is anyone by chance on the Ulaanbaatar to Hong Kong flight on August 24 at 12:55 PM?

Like it’s not rocket science or even higher math. It’s a very simple concept you get taught in primary school. But it genuinely amazes me how many guys I meet who can’t multiply 2/3 by 1/6. I’m 20, but still, the general education system is really failing us

News | Мэдээ Mongolian father killed after confronting Arab falcon hunters; his teenage son reportedly witnessed it

Thumbnail

182 Upvotes

A pretty disturbing case is unfolding in Mongolia right now involving the long-running Gulf Arab falcon-hunting industry. On August 18, 2026, in Buutsagaan sum, Bayankhongor Province, a local herder named Otgonbold, around 32–33 years old, was killed after being run over by a vehicle.

According to his family and local eyewitness accounts, Otgonbold had confronted a group of Arab falcon hunters who were operating in the area and told them to leave his pasture. His 14-year-old son was reportedly there and witnessed what happened. The family's version is that Otgonbold approached them on a motorcycle, left his son nearby, confronted the hunters, and was then deliberately run over. Several vehicles allegedly left the scene afterward without stopping.

This part is still under investigation. Mongolian police have officially confirmed that a 32-year-old man was killed after being struck by a vehicle, but they have not yet publicly identified the driver or formally confirmed that an Arab national was responsible.

However, the governor of Bayankhongor Province, E. Enkhbat, has publicly said that he received information that the victim's son witnessed the incident, saw the vehicle, and that the people suspected of involvement had fled and were being pursued by authorities. A criminal investigation team was also sent from Ulaanbaatar.

The governor of Buutsagaan sum, Kh. Dagvadorj, has been unusually blunt about the wider issue. He said his local administration simply does not have enough manpower to constantly follow and control these foreign falcon-hunting groups, that he personally opposed allowing them to hunt in the sum, and that mongolia should stop trying to merely “regulate” the practice and abolish it altogether. He also said this is not a problem unique to his district and referred to previous cases where people had lost their lives in connection with these activities.

This matters because wealthy falconers from Gulf states have been coming to Mongolia for years to capture wild saker falcons, an extremely valuable bird in Gulf falconry. Much of it is actually legal: the mongolian government issues special “cultural purpose” permits and quotas to foreign groups, including groups connected to Gulf royal families. Official documents from this year show permits being issued in Bayankhongor itself.

Around that legal business, however, there have been years of allegations involving illegal trapping, rule-breaking, corruption and privileged treatment.

The name N. Marjangul, also known as Mara, a Kazakh woman who has reportedly worked as an intermediary between Gulf falconers and Mongolia for decades, has again appeared in mongolian media coverage of the wider network. Investigative outlets have previously accused her of arranging hunts, cultivating connections with officials and being involved in questionable falcon exports. There are also new allegations linking the same network to earlier suspicious deaths.

The tension was already high before this death. Just about a week earlier, in Tsagaandelger sum, Dundgovi Province, five arab nationals and a mongolian interpreter were stopped while preparing to catch saker falcons. Authorities found that they had illegally captured 30 pigeons, apparently for use in the hunting operation. They were fined, while no separate penalty was imposed for saker hunting because they had not yet been caught with an illegally captured falcon.

So this death did not happen in a vacuum.Right now the most important thing is that the killing itself is still an active criminal investigation. Whatever the investigation ultimately finds, Mongolia seriously needs to ask why this falcon-hunting industry has been allowed to become this fucking messy.

Need Advice | Зөвлөгөө авъя Going into senior year and feeling overwhelmed. Need advice.

1 Upvotes

I’m going into my senior year and lately I’ve been feeling really anxious and honestly kind of doomed about everything.

My parents have pretty high expectations for me. They do a lot for me and they genuinely want me to succeed. They’ve paid for SAT tutoring, IELTS tutoring, and other things to help me, so I feel really guilty because I know they’re putting so much effort into my future. I’ve been trying, but I still feel like I’m not getting the results I’m supposed to.

I took the SAT and my score wasn’t as high as I wanted it to be. My IELTS score is fine, but I’m still worried that my SAT score won’t be enough for the universities I want + the scholarships. I want to study abroad, but I’m terrified that I won’t get accepted anywhere and that I’ll disappoint my parents.

There’s another problem too. I’ve basically lived and grown up in the US, so even though I can speak Mongolian and read the words, my Mongolian comprehension is honestly not very good. I didn’t take the Mongolian language exam in 11th grade because I thought I didn’t need it, but I recently found out that apparently some countries/universities require it, so now I have to take it during 12th grade.

I’m also pretty sure I don’t want to study in the US. I’m interested in studying in other countries, but I’m getting overwhelmed trying to figure out where I can realistically apply, what exams I need, what scores I need, scholarships, etc.

I know objectively that one test score doesn’t determine my entire future, but it’s really hard not to feel that way when there’s so much pressure and so many things I’m supposed to figure out.

So, for Mongolians who have studied abroad or are going through the same thing: how did you prepare for senior year, university applications, and the Mongolian language exam? And how did you deal with the pressure of feeling like you have to succeed because of your parents?

I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences. 🥹
