Ayimag - Aimaku (English spelling)

Japanese: アイマク - あいまく(英語表記)ayimag
Ayimag - Aimaku (English spelling)

In Mongolian, it means a part or tribe. It is also the name of an administrative division. During the Yuan Dynasty, it meant territory including tribes and the pastures on which they lived, and was written in Chinese as "Aima." In the 17th century, after Inner and Outer Mongolia were annexed to the Qing Dynasty, Aimak was also used to mean an administrative division, and Outer Mongolia and the Four Khanates were also called the Four Aimak. Currently, Aimak is used to mean "county" in Mongolia, and to mean "league" in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.
