Aymags of Mongolia

(Redirected from Aymag)

Mongolia is divided into 21 aymags or provinces. Aimaq (also spelled aimag, and aimak) is the Mongolian word for prefecture. Because Mongolia was a province of China though, it was divided into aimaqs (prefectures of the province of Outer Mongolia). They kept it like this even when they gained their independence.

See ISO 3166-2:MN for their ISO 3166-2 codes.
