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.
Until recently the buttonquails (bustard quails or hemipodes) have not been listed as occurring in Mongolia. The 2007 official list of names gives the locally occurring species, the Yellow-legged Buttonquail, the name of Гурван шивүүрт gurvaŋ shivüürt 'three-spined', referring to its three toes.
