The Khalkha (Mongolian: Халх; Khalkh) is the largest subgroup of Mongol people in Mongolia since the 15th century. The Khalkha together with Chahar Ordos and Tumed were directly ruled by the Chinggisid Khans until the 20th century; unlike the Oirat people who were ruled by the Dzungar nobles or the Khorchins who were ruled by Khasar’s descendants. There were originally two major Khalkha groups of which each ruled by the direct male line descendants of Dayan Khan.
