The Mongols ( Mongolian : Монголчууд, ????????? , Mongolchuud , ?????:IPA-mn ) are an East Asian ethnic group native to Mongolia and to China 's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region . They also live as minorities in other regions of China (e.g. Xinjiang ), as well as in Russia . Mongolian people belonging to the Buryat and Kalmyk subgroups live predominantly in the Russian federal subjects of Buryatia and Kalmykia .

The Mongols are bound together by a common heritage and ethnic identity . Their indigenous dialects are collectively known as the Mongolian language . The ancestors of the modern-day Mongols are referred to as Proto-Mongols .

Definition [ ?????? | ?????? ?????? ]

Broadly defined, the term includes the Mongols proper (also known as the Khalkha Mongols ), Buryats , Oirats , the Kalmyk people and the Southern Mongols. The latter comprises the Abaga Mongols , Abaganar , Aohans , Baarins , Gorlos Mongols , Jalaids , Jaruud , Khishigten , Khuuchid , Muumyangan and Onnigud .

The designation "Mongol" briefly appeared in 8th century records of Tang China to describe a tribe of Shiwei . It resurfaced in the late 11th century during the Khitan -ruled Liao dynasty . After the fall of the Liao in 1125, the Khamag Mongols became a leading tribe on the Mongolian Plateau . However, their wars with the Jurchen -ruled Jin dynasty and the Tatar confederation had weakened them.

In the thirteenth century, the word Mongol grew into an umbrella term for a large group of Mongolic-speaking tribes united under the rule of Genghis Khan . ^[??]
