[edit] Background of Chahar Mongols
The Chahar Mongols are closely related to the Kalhkha and Tümed Mongols. The three tribes are Eastern Mongols, i.e., Chingissid (or Kublaid) Mongols. The Chahar tribe's ancestral home is Inner Mongolia. The Chahar tribe has no historical relationship with the Aimak.
The Aimak have a closer tie to the Jagatai or even the Hazara.--Buzava 04:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Then what's up with the name Chahar-Aimak? --Khoikhoi 05:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not familiar with the origin of the term "Chahar," but the term "Aimak" in Kalmyk-Mongolian means subsection or district. Perhaps the Chahar-Aimak claim descent from the Chahar Mongols. Interestingly, certain scholars (viz., Nicolas Poppe) have suggested that the Hazara are related to the Oirats. Btw, dörben is Mongolian for the number four.--Buzava 16:13, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is the sample really Aimak?
