(moved from Ménggǔ)

Are the tone-markings correct? WP has "Měnggǔ". - -sche (discuss) 11:56, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Měnggǔ is correct. 60.240.101.246 11:58, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
In fact, our own entry for 蒙古 has Měnggǔ, which makes this error hard to explain. - -sche (discuss) 12:03, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Probably due to the tone sandhi in Standard Chinese: third tone + third tone -> second tone + third tone. So Měnggǔ and Ménggǔ are homophones. 60.240.101.246 12:05, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
