Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Republic of Kazakhstan The article examines the toponyms and historical geography of Tuva in the 18th–19th centuries based on Manchu-Chinese sources. The Qing emperors produced maps in both the Manchu and Chinese languages, the most famous of which are the Yongzheng Atlas (1728) and the Qianlong Atlas (1766). Of particular interest are Qing archival documents concerning Tuva. The earliest documents date back to the first half of the 18th century. During the Yongzheng period (reign years 1722–1735), a large amount of information was obtained about the Uriankhai people. The author used documents from selected Collections of Memorials to the Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong: “Gongzhongdan Yongzheng chao zouzhe” and “Gongzhong dan Qianlong chao zouzhe” (Qingdai danan jiansuo sitong, 2021). The article also investigates the Tuvan language and its 19th century terminology, which is presented in tabular form.
