Transliteration Of Old Mongolian Names: Linguo-Didactic Aspect

Abstract

This article discusses in detail the technology of teaching Old Mongolian writing. Knowledge of Old Mongolian writing is one of the most relevant aspects of mastering oriental languages. For centuries, Old Mongolian writing has been the only literary form of various Mongolian languages. Without a detailed study of Old Mongolian writing, there cannot be a deep understanding of traditional Mongolian culture. This subject is studied in the framework of the discipline "Ancient Languages and Cultures" at the university. The theory of teaching the ancient Mongolian language has not actually been developed (for Russian educational institutions). Much attention is paid to the specifics of teaching reading. Reading in the old written Mongolian language is one of the most important information channels through which the student is introduced to the cultural heritage of the past. Given the complex graphic system of Old Mongolian writing, it is necessary to use the generally accepted transliteration on the Latin basis, which serves as a support for reading at the initial stage, helps the teacher to identify students' reading errors and contributes to the fast learning of the alphabet. The State Archive of the Trans-Baikal Territory contains archival documents in the old Mongolian language, which allows students to open horizons for research activity. In revision inventories from the archive fund, a list of foreigners of the Irkutsk province of the Verkhneudinsky district of the Khorinskaya Steppe Duma of the Sagan genus (July 7, 1831) was examined.
