Tuva
- The Republic of Tuva in the
Russian Federation is the former Tannu Tuva, a country in
south Siberia absorbed by the former USSR in 1944. Before
that, since 1924, Tuva was nominally independent. The
region was previously known by the Mongolian name
Uriankhai. Of 308,000 inhabitants, 64% are Tuvan and
about 32 % Russian. The capital is Kyzyl. Tuvans speak a
Turkic language (Tuvan) and are mainly Buddhists,
culturally linked to the Mongols. There are also Tuvan
minorities in Mongolia (24,700 or 1.3% of the total
population in 1985) and around 400 people in China
(1990). We have a couple of placenames for Mongolia
below.
