Ed_Haynes Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Thanks, Bob. Good idea for what I hope will become a useful quick-reference thread.While you have to understand the source (USA, Pentagon, CIA, State Department, USA) and the interests and biases that that these sources present, the Mongolia "Country Handbook" is of some use, and it is on-line:http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/mntoc.htmlWhile this is the 2nd edition, you do need to remember that it was published in 1991. It might be useful to compare the first edition as well, as it is from 1970. So far as I know, there is no 3rd edition (yet?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thanks for these, I can't honestly say they'll "speed up" my efforts to learn some Mongolian, but every little bit helps. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Mongolia, as well as others, Yuri has good information (and lovely images). It is in Russian, but the gods have given us Babelfish so we'd always have gibberish.

Ed_Haynes Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) As I try (and try) to make coherent sense of the aimag badges, I have -- wonder of wonders -- found a Wilipedia site that is of great use:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aymguud_of_MongoliaIn addition to having nice aimag-by-aimag maps, it also has valuable aimag-level maps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumuud_of_Mongolia) that show the next lower divisions, the sum. Some badges come from the sum level and without a map you have no hope. As the lowest administrative unit, the bag exists not geographically but only on paper (record-keeping groups of families), we don't ned to worry about them.

Sergei Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieaKNKHJssgyoutube footageBob, Great footage, thanks. The choice of songs was interesting, I do not recall the first one, the second one (the song of young pioneers) is about a happy childhood of the under 14th, the third tune (the three tankmen?) for a minute made me emotional for my father used to serve there (after the conflict) and my mother is from those parts of the world, that's where they hooked up and so on and so forth. The last song is also on my 'part of the childhood' list. I cannot beleive I am so old ! Sergei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
