Bakaeva 1 1 Ph. D. in History (Doct. of Historical Sc.), Chief Research Associate, Department of Ethnology, Kalmyk Scientifi c Center of the RAS (Elista, Russian Federation). E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract The article analyzes the colour symbolism in the clothing of Oirats of Mongolia. The paper shows that the Oirat men’s costume was characterized by combinations of white and black which stand for the key colour opposition in the culture of all Mongolian peoples. The Oirat women’s costume contained various colours and, in general, when it came to colour preferences, specifi c ethnic priorities based on certain symbolism could be traced. The article provides data confi rming the facts of defi nite colour priorities within the traditional women’s costume of Oirat peoples alongside with corresponding fi eld data according to which black in the Olot (mong. Ӧӧld) women’s costume symbolically stands for the 18th century Oirat-Manchu confrontation. At the same time, presence of black ‘berz’ in the Hobuksar Torghut women’s costume testifi es that the symbolism of black is ancient enough and it was not perceived as a mourning colour. The same is the case for the traditional felt high boots of Torghuts residing in Mongolia and the PRC where black boots are viewed as ceremonial while white ones are considered casual; folk songs also relate that folk heroes used to wear black folded garments. Clothing differences — and specifi cally the colour symbolism — were paid much attention to, and the ‘Tsaajin Bichig’, a code of laws and regulations adopted by the Qing for their subordinate Mongols, established that should there arrive new groups of Mongols designated as “border crossers” it was necessary to identify and refer them to one of the four social categories as confi rmed by the laws and — provide them with certain garments. The Oirat peoples have retained specifi c features of their traditional culture which is due to a numbers of reasons, such as remoteness from territories inhabited by Mongols as well as peculiarities of their natural surroundings and economy. The article describes some features of patterns and colour characteristics of various men’s and women’s garments (‘devel’, ‘lavshig’, ‘terleg’, ‘tsegdeg’) in the traditions of the Dӧrbets, Torghuts, Bayids, Myangads and other Oirats of Western Mongolia. It is concluded that the patterns of women’s garments are most archaic though diverse types of fabric started being applied; while the men’s costume that kept being made of traditional materials — sheep- or lambskins — with black cloth used to face it generally resembles the Mongolian ‘deel’ and, thus, has supposedly experienced some changes.

  • PRESENT SITUATION of KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs Number 8-9, 2002 PRESENT SITUATION OF KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D (Mongolia) The name and identity “kazakh” emerged in the sixteenth century, when a Kazakh Khanate was founded in today’s Kazakhstan. The Kazakh aristocrats trace their origin directly to Chinggis Khan or his sons. In the sixteenth century, ethnic Kazakhs were historically divided into three clans or zhuzes: The senior zhuz, the middle zhuz, and the junior zhuz. Once under the rule of the Oirad Mongols in the seventeenth to eighteen centuries, some middle zhuz Kazakhs later moved into Jungaria. The Kazakhs in Mongolia are mostly Abak-kerei and Naiman Kazakhs who settled in the Altai and Khovd regions, where they rented pasture from the lords of Mongolia during the 1860s according to Tarbagatai Protokol between Russia and Qing Dynasty. The nomads came to graze their sheep on the high mountain pastures during the summer, and spent the winter in Kazakhstan or Xinjiang province in China. After the Mongolian revolution in 1921, a permanent border was drawn by agreement between China, Russia and Mongolia, but the Kazakhs remained nomadic until the 1930s, crossing the border at their own will.1 The word kazakh is said to mean ‘free warrior’ or ‘steppe roamer’. Kazakhs trace their roots to the fifteenth century, when rebellious kinsmen of an Uzbek Khan broke away and settled in present-day Kazakhstan. In Mongolia, more than in Kazakhstan, Kazakh women wear long dresses with stand-up collars, or brightly decorated velvet waistcoats and heavy jewelry. The men still wear baggy shirts and trousers, sleeveless jackets, wool or cotton robes, and a skullcap or a high, tasseled felt hat.2 In 1923 the Mongolian Kazakh population numbered 1,870 households and 11,220 people.3 Subsequently, many more have come to Mongolia from 3 Paul Greenway, Robert Story and Gobriel Lafitte (1997), Mongolia (Lonely Planet Publications), p.231.

This article is published with open access Abstract Kalmyks, the only Mongolic-speaking population in Europe, live in the southeast of the European Plain, in Russia. They adhere to Buddhism and speak a dialect of the Mongolian language. Historical and linguistic evidence, as well a shared clan names, suggests a common origin with Oirats of western Mongolia; yet, only a limited number of genetic studies have focused on this 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: topic. Here we compare the paternal genetic relationship of Kalmyk clans with ethnographically related groups from Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and China, within the context of their neighbouring populations. A phylogeny of 37 high-coverage Y-chromosome sequences, together with further genotyping of larger sample sets, reveals that all the Oirat-speaking populations studied here, including Kalmyks, share, as a dominant paternal lineage, Y-chromosomal haplogroup C3c1-M77, which is also present in several geographically distant native Siberian populations.

  • And Kalmyk Ágnes Linguistic Oirad Essays
    The present volume is the fi rst part of a series aimed to introduce the activity of the Hungarian-Mongolian Expedition researching dialects and traditional culture over the past two decades among Mongolian speaking ethnic groups. The starting volume celebrates the beginning of the Expedition twenty years earlier and is connected to the language and dialect researches based on the fi eldwork among the West Mongolian Oirads since 1991. OIRAD Researching Oirad materials is particularly important among Mongolic languages. The reason is that ESSAYS once living in a compact unity, the ethnic group has AND widely scattered but they still preserve their specifi c language and culture even surrounded by a different ÁGNES majority (Khalkha Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan and BIRTALAN Russian). Living separated from each other since LINGUISTIC the 17th century and some of their groups changing KALMYK territory several times, the Oirads have preserved archaisms in their dialects that could contribute KALMYK to the study of the development and alteration of other Mongolic languages. The examination of other AND LINGUISTIC modifi cations in majority environments, of the strategies of maintaining their language and culture might provide grounds for drawing linguistic and OIRAD cultural inferences of general validity. ESSAYS An international community of researchers demonstrates their achievement in various disciplines of Oirad and Kalmyk linguistic studies in the present volume.

Зохиолд монголчуудын зан заншил, уламжлалыг тусгаж өгчээ. Тус бүтээл нь 13-р зууны монголчуудын ахуй амьдрал, нийгмийн байдал, улс төрийн харилцааг судлах сурвалж болдогоороо ач холбогдолтой юм. Зохиогч зохиолоо нууц газар, нууц байдалтай, зарим үйл явцыг нууц байдлаар бичиж үлдээсэн нь өдгөөгийн өнцгөөс харж, тайлж унших нь чухал байна. Басхүү МНТ-г судлахдаа тухайн үеийн сэтгэхүйн (ментальность) түвшинд нь авч үзэх1 шаардлагатай юм. Сурвалжид эр нөхөр нь үгүй болсон атал Алунгоо эх гурван хөвүүн төрүүлдэг. Тэдгээр хөвүүд хэний үрс байж болох талаар асуудал болж тавигдсан байна. Зохиогч уг асуудлыг дотроо дүрсэлж байсан бөгөөд язгууртан овгийн нууцыг хадгалж үлдэхийн тулд тэр чигээр нь орхижээ. Харин өнөөдөр түүхч, судлаачдын өмнө Алунгоо эхийн тэдгээр гурван хөвүүд чухам хэний үр хүүхэд (үрс) болох талаар маргаантай асуудал байсаар байна.

Статья посвящена освещению историографических аспектов изучения семантики женского костю- ма, характерного для культуры ойратских народов, в том числе калмыков. Сходный тип женской одежды также имел распространение среди бурят, алтайцев, тувинцев и некоторых других народов.

The article reviews the semantics of women's costume of the Oirat and Kalmyk people. According to the scientists this type of clothing is included into South Siberian group of clothing which is usually associated with economic and cultural tradition of nomadic herders.
