Mythologies of the Sartuul Tribe

 

Sartuul (Mongolian: Сартуул) is one of the Mongol clans. They are sometimes confused with the Sartuuls, a group of captured artisans from Central Asia. However, their name is originated from Sart Uul (Mountain with the Moon), the name of a mountain where they live. During the Chinese Qing dynasty rule, there was a banner named Tsetsen Sartuul's hoshuu (Wise Sartuul's banner) and descendants of the banner began to use its name as a clan name when Mongolians began using their ancestors' clan names after 1990. 9 khutagts of Khalkha and 2 presidents of Mongolia are from the Tsetsen Sartuul's hoshuu.

Sartuul group was under Daldan Khundlun, the 6th son of Gersenz Jalair prince (1513-1549), Batmunkh-Dayan Khan’s son who is 14th grandchildren of Chinggis Khan and now they are living in the region where they used to. Some of them are inhabiting in Buryatia because of situations of the war. According to the history, Sartuuls are the craftsmen who were moved from current Uzbek, Afganistan and Tajigstan during the children of Chinggis Khan were governing the Central Asia. Among these facts, the last one is spoken and written widely. Sartuul is one ethnic of Mongol-Turk or Sogd and Peres not Mongol or Turk. Sartuuls are now living in 7 provinces and 24 soums of Mongolia. There are 2166 Sartuul people in Mongolia.

Sartuul (Сартуул) is one of the mongol tribes. Today, they mainly live in Zavkhan Province of Mongolia. The origin of the sartuul people is Turkic merchants and artisans from Khwarizm. According to Pelliot, Sartuul means merchant in plural. Mongols called muslim merchant as Sart or place he came from as Sartagchinii gazar. After Mongol invasion of Central Asia, many khwarizms and other turks settled in Mongolia. They were always loyal to Batmunkh Dayan khan and his successors. And they were appointed as one wing of khalkhas. Because, their loyalty was high and Sartuul people 
had already mixed with Mongols as time went.After death of Gersenz Huntaiji who is son of Batmunkh Dayan Khaan, his wife divided Khalkha Mongol into her 7 sons. One of his sons, Daldan hundlun received Tangud (Descendants of Xi xia dynasty) and Sartuul tribes. Since then, Chingissid princes from House of Daldan hundlun had ruled them. Some of them moved to northern Mongolia around Baikal few decades later and mixed with the ancestors of Buryats. Sartuul people is famous for their intelligence and loyalty. 9 khutagts of Khalkha and 2 presidents of Mongolia are from Sartuul. Today Sartuul Khalkhas are in sginificant number and divided into 22 subclans which dwell on Zavkhan province. And there is saying in Mongolia that Sartuul means Sartai Uul (Mountain with the Moon). But this is doubtful theory which is based on only the spell or accent of the name.
