The Ongud (also spelled Ongut or Öngüt; Mongolian: Онгуд, Онход; Chinese: 汪古, Wanggu; from Old Turkic öng "desolate, uninhabited; desert" plus güt "class marker"[1]) were a Turkic tribe that later became Mongolized[2][3] active in what is now Inner Mongolia in northern China around the time of Genghis Khan (1162–1227).[4] Many Ongud were members of the Church of the East.[5] They lived in an area lining the Great Wall in the northern part of the Ordos Plateau and territories to the northeast of it.[4] They appear to have had two capitals, a northern one at the ruin known as Olon Süme and another a bit to the south at a place called Koshang or Dongsheng.[6] They acted as wardens of the marches for the Jin dynasty (1115–1234) to the north of Shanxi.[7]
