Monγul” and “Moγul; A historical Survey of a Name recorded in the History of Sistan

In the book of Tārix-e-Sistān (History of Sistan), the words “Monγul” and “Moγul” has been used to define the Turanian Invaders of Sistan. Malek o-Sho’arā Bahār, the editor of manuscript, has noted without further explanation that the similar word “Mongol” has been transmitted by European sources. Researches about Mongolian language and history confirms that the word “Monγol” is more accurate than “Moγol” and the latter form is either a simplification of the former or has a non-Mongolian origin. In the text of Tārix-e-Sistān, comparing the occurrence of both words with the chronology of its events indicates that the author(s) in recording those terms, have acted with precise consideration.
