Talk:Khovd (city)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This information is for the Provincal center, Hovd City...not the distinctive Hovd Soum, which is also called Hovd. It is confusing, but there is a big difference.
Hovd Soum is located about 26km NNW of Hovd City. It is populated almost completely by Kazakhs. There are around 3,000 people in that entire soum.
See here for the location: [1]
[edit] Jargalant khot
The name Jargalant seems to predate 1992. It can already be found at the 1932 map at http://mongol.tufs.ac.jp/landmaps/ and seems to have been in (official) use quite some time. Yaan (talk) 01:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
