General names
This list should be regarded as being 'in beta'. Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Many Kazakh, Turkish, and Korean glosses are highly tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
The Mongolian term for 'swallow' is Хараацай kharaatsai, with the variant form Хараацгай kharaatsgai (found in Inner Mongolian dictionaries but rarely in those of Mongolia). The Buryat form is Хараасгай kharaasgai.
Regularised names:
In the 2007 regularised names, every genus has its own individual name. The Mongolian genera of the Hirundinidae are treated as follows:
| Genus | Old | New |
| Riparia (Sand Martins) | Хараацай kharaatsai |
Эргийнхараацай erginkharaatsai 'cliff swallow' |
| Hirundo (Swallows) Mongolian list includes Cecropis |

Aside from using two amalgamated forms, the new naming takes advantage of the variant form Хараацгай kharaatsgai.
