Talk:Mongolia

Hello @GnuUserr, as you have requested if Mongolia is related to the Dzungar Khanate or the Oirats, it goes by using textbooks of secondary school and high school, which mind you is allowed per Wikipedia:Citing Textbooks as it states textbooks are reliable sources.

Gantulga's History VIII (3rd edition) page 17, lays out the Mongols after the disintegration as Western and Eastern Mongolia. The Western sect of Mongolia, includes the Oirats, as divided as Choros, Torghut, Dörbet and Khoshut. While the Eastern sect is further divided into two Khan (includes the Khalkha Mongols, the Chahars and the Uriankhai) and Jonon (includes various Inner Mongolian clans). The source further goes as stating the Four Oirats down to the Dzungar Khanate as tWestern Mongolia in page 33 and 78.

Gantulga's Mongolian History X (3rd edition) page 59, lays the Oirats as the Western Mongols again, states the Mongols in Western Mongolia as the Oirats and further talks of the Oirat Confederation, Khoshut Khanate, Dzungar Khanate and the Kalmyk Khanate.

For further information, Adle Chahrayar's book History of Central Asia V, page 212 confirms the division of Mongolia, stating the Western Mongolia consisted of the Four Oirats. I could go further as with using Christopher Pratt Atwood's encyclopedia of Mongolia and the Mongol Empire.
