General names

This list should be regarded as being 'in beta'. Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Pronunciation still needs fine-tuning. Comments and corrections welcome.

The plovers are known in Mongolian as Сүвээ цагаан süvee tsagaan meaning 'white side', mainly applied to the Pluvialinae, or Хиазат khiazat, with a meaning of 'lace' or 'inlay', mainly applied to the Charadriinae.

The lapwings are known as Хавтгаалж khavtgaalj, Хавтгайлж khavtgailj, or Хавтгалж khavtgalj (although at least one dictionary gives the meaning of this as 'snipe').

Regularised names:

The 2007 official list tidies up the assignment of names to genera according to the following (genera do not necessarily match Howard and Moore):

The most striking feature is the existence of three names for the lapwings, based on a division into three separate genera (not recognised in Howard and Moore). Besides the creation of a new name (Зуунхурга zuunhurag 'hundred lambs') for one genus, the list attempts to use a minor linguistic variation between Xавтгаалж khavtgaalj and Xавтгалж khavtgalj to draw a formal distinction between genera.
