Koç D., Yıldırım K. The Word ‘Tatar’ in Various Forms in Chinese Sources // Mongolica. Том XXIII, 2020, № 2. СПб.: Петербургское Востоковедение, 2020. С. 23—25.
The word ‘Tatar’, as in reference to various ethnic communities, peoples, and characters at different times and
places in history, appear in various forms in classical Chinese texts. We will attempt to identify the original
written forms of some of these names as they appear in several primary sources, in addition to the purpose behind
the use of selected characters, their spelling, their different readings, and their reconstructed forms. Our aim is to
both reveal the historical course of names referring to the Tatars (in which we believe ought to be used very
carefully both in historical and linguistic studies) as well as to contribute to better understanding of content and
meaning of the names.
