German Mongolist to be awarded Khubilai Khaan’s Order

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Academy of Sciences of Mongolia has decided to give its supreme prize--the Order of Khubilai Khaan--to German Oliver Korff, a scholar of Mongol studies. This is a recognition of his significant contribution to the Mongol studies. The ceremony will take place January 10. He is one of the scholars who has devoted his life to the studies, for example, he has introduced computers in studies of the Mongolian language. Mr Oliver Korff has chaired a scholars’ team from six countries to produce a dictionary of five languages. This dictionary was published in two volumes with the index of five languages in 2014. Working as a member of the International Association of Altai Studies, Mr Korff aims to study the origin of Mongolian language, one of the important part of the Mongol studies.
