Help[Opinions] Re: Kazakh and Mongolian names
in reply to a message by Siân
Thanks for the questions! I totally agree with you about Isa, Aizereh, Tokash, and Akböbeh - they were some of my favorites. I also wondered if Dela was a nickname, I'm not sure.
Aigerim was pronounced EYE-gheh-reem (that's a hard G, like in 'goat').
Shinggisgul = SHIN-ghiss-guhl, with the 'u' sound like the u in 'current.' I wondered if this was related to Chinggis at all (Chinggis Khan is definitely still a big deal in Mongolia), but I only heard Chinggis pronounced with a CH (like in 'chalk'), so no idea.
Gemira also has a hard G sound: gheh-MEE-rah. I *think* I heard this one correctly, not 100% sure.
Erhanbulgan = AIR-hawn-BOOL-gawn
Erhanbayir = AIR-hawn-BAH-year
