Mongolian tribes

Mongolian tribes are traditional kinship groups originating from Mongolia and surrounding regions, characterized by distinct customs, dialects, and historical patterns. Historically nomadic, these tribes often organized into confederations and shared cultural traits like horsemanship and herding. Notable tribes include the Khalkha, the largest in Mongolia, as well as the Buryat, Dorvod, and Oirat. Throughout history, tribes played vital roles in military alliances and political structures, shaping Mongolia’s cultural identity. Today, many tribes maintain their cultural heritage while integrating modern influences, continuing to contribute to Mongolia’s diverse social fabric.
