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 Mongolian name for the tits is Хөх бух khökh bukh literally meaning 'blue bull'. In the 2007 bird names, this has been amalgamated into one word, Хөх бух khökh bukh.
Some miscellaneous dictionary terms for the tits (I can't vouch for their accuracy) include Хѳх цэцгий khökh tsetsgii and Хадны бялзуухай khatny bilzuukhai 'stone finch'. Задуулай zaduulai and Задууль бялзуухай zaduul' bilzuukhai 'zaduul' finch' may possibly refer to the tits, but are now applied to the Regulidae.
