As noted in the introduction, The romanization of foreign names is a difficult problem. Many countries have adopted new systems in recent years, but a lot of the sources used the older systems. I have tried to conform to the most current usage as best I could. I apologize for any inadvertent errors.
Mongolian names are written according to modern Mongolian spelling, using Mongol Wikipedia and a recent Mongol translation of the Secret History as guides, converted from the Cyrillic alphabet. Alternate spellings are included in the Index in parentheses, eg Chinggis (Genghis).
Chinese names are written using the Pinyin system. Place names are the names used at the time. Corresponding modern names of major cities are shown in the index.
Korean names are written using the Revised Romanization system. Place names are the names used at the time. Corresponding modern names of major cities are shown in the index.
Place names in the west are written using their modern names except for Constantinople.
Geographic names (cities, mountains, rivers, lakes, etc) are written using current spelling as in the National Geographic Atlas of the World. Abbreviations are used for Lake/L, River/R. The more widely known English name is sometimes shown in parentheses for some of the more famous names, eg: Halab (Aleppo), Chang (Yangtze) R. Geographic names are not included in the index unless they are mentioned in the text.
