Talk:Ili River

= Tamgaly vs Tamgaly Tas =

Untitled
Tamgaly Tas is a site on the Ili with Tibetan Buddhist carvings, not to be confused with the Tamgaly world heritage site. Both are covered separately on Russian Wikipedia, and I can confirm that they are in completely different directions from Almaty, where I live, as I have been to both! For this reason I intend to remove the link from this page, and hope to create a page for Tamgaly Tas in English in August. Harlandski (talk) 14:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

"Shimmering"
is probably wrong since ilansu doesn't seem to be a Mongolian word but (a) it might be an older form of a modern Mongolian term and (b) even if it turns out to be entirely mistaken it's worth noting and debunking that since several regional sources appear to share the idea. — Llywelyn II   13:50, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
