note: Mongolian is written in Cyrillic; transcribing it to Latin creates some difficulties as there is no fixed one to one relation between Cyrillic and Latin characters. For instance the Cyrillic "говь" can be transcribed "gobi" or "govi". I try to use, as much as possible, the version used bu the Mongolian statistics agency.
