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 Hoopoe is known in Mongolian by several names: Өвөөлж övöölj, Бөвөөлж bövöölj, and Бөвөөлжин bövööljin.

The 2007 official names combine two of these into the double-barrelled Бөвөөлжин өвөөлж bövööljin övöölj.
