Greetings everyone, Does anyone know what is the
correct pronunciation of "Subutai" and "Baghatur" in Middle
Mongolian (spoken at the time of the Empire) and modern Mongolian? I am mostly interested in the Middle Mongolian pronunciation. Also, what do you think is the
most accurate Latin transcription? I've seen so many: Subutai,
Subotai, Subetei, Subetai, Tsubotai, Tsubodai, Tsubetei, Tsubatai
and Baghatur, Ba'atur, Bagatur, Baghadur, Bahadur, Batur,
Baatar. Thank you,
Fox |

I believe his name in middle Mongolian might be Sube'edei.
