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.

Until recently the Buttonquails (Bustard Quails) 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 gurvan shivüürt 'three-spined', referring to its three toes.
