Version 1.1. Far less than perfect - help!!!

Hi! My name is Nasaa. I think your item no.8 should read "shudraga juram medal", something like "Civic Duty" or "Public order" medal. "Shudraga" means honest or upright, "juram" means system or order.

Thank you, Nasaa. And welcome to the forum!! As you see, we need help from someone who knows the language.

I am really (really) grateful for this, for I think we have (finally) captured teh real name of the "Medal for Unselfishness"!

Here's version (= attempt) 1.2. Improving, but not "there" yet!

Hi,

I made a few modifications from the mongolian language angle.

I marked 2 names in yellow which I'm not sure.

[Ed_Haynes]

Many thanks! Always appreciate any help in refining these confusing (to most of us) names.

I don't think we know precisely where the various titles ("People's . . . .") fall in the order. I have simply taken them in the order that Dr. Battushig addresses them.

Someone needs to dig out some documentation here.

Again, many thanks!

There are a lot of small errors and typo's in that last PDF. I think this should be the correct names, transliterations and translations of the top Mongolian Orders and medals. The Hero Stars are difficult.

Thanks, Ferdinand. I will try to confirm these.

So often, alas, the names are rendered in Russian (and in Russian Cyrillic), as if the Mongolians spoke Russian.

It is my understanding that Battuishig will include the Mongolian names in the next edition. Getting accurate names is, of course, a problem, especially for awards outside the core that inspire the greatest coillector interest. These require getting award documents, which is a real problem at times.

[Ferdinand]

Indeed Ed. Just look at the catalogues of Dietrich Herfurth, where all the 'original Mongolian names' are actually translated Russian names...

It will be great to have these names confirmed by the expert(s)!

[Vatjan]

Careful with Sukhe Bator and Ulan Bator, Mongolians themselves now use a new prefered spelling for these: Sukhbaatar and Ulaanbaatar
