The article considers the proper names of Tuvans living in sums Tsengel (Bayan-Ölgii aimag), Buyaet (Khovd aimag), Tsagaan-Nuur (Khövsgöl aimag), Mongolia. Our study relies on sources collected during comprehensive research expeditions the author led in 1999-2019 on the territory of Khovd, Bayan- Ölgii and Khövsgöl aimags of Mongolia.
Throughout the studied territories, native Tuvan proper names have now become rare and little-used. The main reason for this is the decrease in the number of Tuvan language speakers, as the older generation is replaced by new ones who speak Mongolian and consider it their native language. A comparative analysis of the territories mentioned showed that the Tuvans of sum Tsengel (Bayan-Ölgii aimag) have preserved more Tuvan names and more frequently speak Tuvan language.
