I have a student, the sweetest little boy, he's from Mongolia. I know a bit for an American (not a lot for the more worldly individuals) about Mongolia. I asked him one day where his family was from, and he told me. His eyes light up when I told him what I knew about Mongolia. He was shy and quiet until that day. It was like I helped open his shell. He taught me some Mongolian, and whenever he sees me, he just lights up. It surprised me how little people know about Mongolia. It has an amazing history and culture. By far, my favorite Asian country to learn about.

As a Mongolian, I know why most of the nomadic population live in the capital city, Ulan Baatar. Unfortunately, this situation is worsening day by day. Due to lack of sewage system and capacity limitations of the CWWTP, people living in suburban parts of the city were forced to use the wooden toilet (also known as a pit latrine or outhouse). This led to not only increases in soil, water and air pollutions, but also infections like cholera. Most of the suburbs don't have running water, only water kiosks (khudag). Further exacerbating problems.

I was fortunate enough to live and work in Mongolia pre-covid. My work has taken my wife and me to many wonderful places, but I can say without any doubt, our time in UB and Mongolia was the best ever. The people are (in random order) the friendliest, the most passionate and parochial, the biggest drinkers I have ever seen (both women and men) the fiercest fighters (usually over nothing) but most importantly; they are the hardest working and most dedicated people on the planet. I had a team of people that I was proud to lead, and even now keep in regular contact with. In fact, I have a Mongolian working with me in Argentina now and as always, her work makes me look good.

However, there's always some humidity. To have these extremes, sometimes even more extreme, and NO humidity, often NO rain/snowfall, that's just an entirely different extreme I can't possibly understand! I dearly want to live in, love, and experience Mongolia now, but even being very accustomed to wild and extreme weather like they don't have (tornadoes are a way of life here), being so dry, sunny, and permafrost devoid of life is an emptiness even Nebraskans would have trouble reckoning with!

I grew up as a nomadic mongolian and we are very much used to the cold winter we prepare for it by eating dairy and usually avoiding any large amounts of meat in the summer and absolutely gobble them up in winter, like nomadic mongolians eat nothing but meat in winter and we also keep our animals inside a shelter in winter as opposed to letting them roam free everywhere under our supervision in the summer Of course theres the occasional "zud" which is a snowstorm even worse than the already brutally cold winter

That is so cool. I am ethnic Hungarian and learned recently that the Avar people came from Siberia. They were living in Carpathian basin (Western most edge of Eurasian steppe) when the Magyars rode in from Siberia forming Hungary by mixing with them and Slavs and Turks. I think all Siberian people are closer than we once thought when you look at shared culture, languages, and now using modern science DNA comparisons of modern and ancient samples and the nomadic technology and skills were incredible. A 2022 study concluded that the Avar Khaganate rode from modern Mongolia to modern Hungary in only 10 YEARS making it one of if not the furthest and fastest paced mass human migration in history. Imagine going from bordering ancient China to the Roman empire just in the span of half of a human childhood. I love that the Kuraltaj is seeing people take pride in Siberian and nomadic heritage. I grow autoflower strains of cannabis the same type our Scythian ancestors smoked thousands of years ago when ancient Greeks and Chinese encountered them on the steppe.

This is one of the best basic summary videos about Mongolian geopolitics I’ve seen on KZread. One thing I would add to this video is that while it is true Mongols are a minority in Inner Mongolia, the vast majority of Chinese are living in the in the cities in the south of Inner Mongolia. Meaning that the countryside (99% of land) is still majority Mongol. Just the southern cities are Chinese, but since there are so many people in those cities, that’s why the population statistics are skewed.

I am so happy to see this video , a Mongolian from Inner Mongolia. Although we are both Mongolian people, I don't have extensive knowledge about Outer Mongolia. Many Mongolians living in Inner Mongolia have transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle and now reside in the surrounding metropolitan areas. While we still use traditional Mongolian script, our proficiency in Mongolian writing has become less fluent compared to Chinese characters, and this has become more common among children. It saddens me to see the dilution of Mongolian culture with the advancement of modern civilization. Although we Mongolians are considered compatriots by the Han Chinese, and I love China as well, an independent Mongolia holds great significance for me. I hope that Mongolia can revive traditional Mongolian script, as it would facilitate communication and the preservation of traditional Mongolian culture among Mongolian people in Inner Mongolia. Thank you for uploading videos about Mongolia.

People who couldn't even state the correct continent that Mongolia is on, or the general region of that continant. Those street interview "IQ Quiz" vids are alarming. Many of the Idiocracy has never even heard of Mongolia, or couldn't spell it, even though it should be easy. After all, spelling " Mangoleeuh" should be a piece of cake - right? 😂 Unless a westerner has put in the time required to study and understand places like Mongolia, it's going too be a mystery. Even most people's own country remains a bit of a "mystery" to them, and it's understandable. Most people only have time and energy the devote to themselves and their interests. That's human nature.

Did a bit of digging and found that after the capital Ulanbataar (pop 1.6 million), the next largest cities (Erdenet and Darkhan) are each only just reaching past the 100k mark (the usual threshold where you would distinguish a city from a town), so not even a tenth the size of Ulanbataar. Thereafter, all the remaining cities scattered across this sizeable chunk of landmass are each under 50k population-wise, with only around 25 cities that have populations ranging from 10k to 44k. And yes, they are all spread out and extremely remote, many of them serving as capitals for their respective regions.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS Cold weather: Most of Mongolia is cold and dry, making it difficult for people to live there. Mountains: Mongolia is very mountainous, with many high peaks and valleys. This makes it hard to travel and build cities. Nomadic lifestyle: Mongolians have traditionally been nomadic herders, moving from place to place to find food for their animals. This lifestyle does not require a lot of people in one place.

It sounds a lot like a bigger more extreme Wyoming. Extremely dry, hot summers, frigid unpredictable winters, inhospitable non arable land and population concentrated in just a few places. Even the B roll in the background could have tricked me if you told me it was Wyoming especially the bit with the snow blowing across the road.

Listening to this, I can’t help but see a lot of comparisons to the great plains where I grew up. I grew up a little east of what some might call the true Great Plains. Basically, the area east of the hundredth Meridian to about the Missouri river still gets enough rainfall for some crop agriculture, though in Nebraska we irrigate the hell out of the land. anyways, hearing your descriptions reminds me so much of places like the Nebraska sandhills, or the South Dakota Plains from the Missouri river to the Badlands. I’m sure that that was definitely intended as these part of the United States seem very similar to Mongolia, and many counties in these sections have densities that are quite similar.

The easternmost point of the Oblast is within about 50 kilometres of the westernmost tip of Mongolia; however, Kazakhstan and Mongolia do not share a common border, the two countries being separated by a small part of Russia and China.

In the classic Sid Meyers Civilization games, Mongolia would typically make just one city and not do much of anything for the whole game. They would make a lot of units, but if they started out on a medium sized island they would just never do much of anything. Seeing this video it makes sense now.
