THE DUKHAS OF MONGOLIA A 'NOT LOST' TURCOPHONE PEOPLE

Abstract

The Dukhan people live in the county of Tsagaannuur (in Dukhan Akköl ‘White Lake’) and surrounding taiga areas in the northern part of Mongolia’s Khövsgöl region. Their total number is approximately 500people. Dukhans are divided into three groups: 1) the Dukhans living in the high taigas, divided into West vs. East Taiga, 2) the Dukhans living in river areas, and 3) the Dukhans living in Tsagaannuur. The Dukhans living in the taiga lead a lifestyle based on reindeer herding, gathering and hunting. Settled Dukhans living in Tsagaannuur and in river areas herd Mongolian-style cattle, i.e. cow, horse, camel,goat and sheep. Dukhan clans started to come to Mongolia in the 1940s from neighbouring areas of the Tuvan Republic. Dukhans of the East Taiga mostly emigrated from Toja, whereas Dukhans of the West Taiga moved from the Tere-Khöl region. During the Manchu period (1757-1911) when the territories of Outer Mongolia and Tuva were under the same administration, the Dukhans used to nomadize across a much largerarea. This large territory was called Uriyankhay, which used to encompass the territories of modern Tuva and Mongolia’s Khövsgöl region.Concerning their spiritual world, Dukhan beliefs are animistic, i.e. they worship nature. Shamans play an important role as intermediaries between the material and the spiritual world.Dukhans identify themselves as tuhha ulǝs ‘Duhan people’. As for the word tuhha, it is a phonetic variant of tuva/tuba, which is widespread in Siberia; cf. Tuvan (tïˁva) and Tofan (toˁfa). In Mongolia, however, Dukhans are generally referred to as tsaatan ‘those who have reindeer’ (tsaa ‘reindeer and the denominal nominal suffix -tan)As for the Dukhan language, it belongs to the taiga subgroup of Sayan Turkic, which itself is a member of the Siberian branch of the Turkic languages. The other Taiga Sayan Turkic languages are Tofan spoken in the Irkutsk Oblast’, the varieties spoken in the Toja and Tere-Khöl regions of the Tuvan republic, and the Soyot language spoken in the Oka region of the Buryat republic.The Taiga Sayan Turkic languages, besides exhibiting language features characteristic for Sayan Turkic, share specific phonetic, morphological and lexical features. At the same time, their lifestyle ischaracterized by reindeer herding, gathering and hunting.Nowadays Dukhans are bilingual. Besides Dukhan, they speak Darkhat Mongolian. Dukhan is used in a narrow family circle and it is not a written language.The Dukhan language and culture are endangered.
