*-Word "eder" means "day"

In Mongolia, The Tibetan names of the seven days of the week are used officially. Unofficially , Mongolians use frequently Sanskrit version or Mongolian version.

Personally , If I were head of the state, I would definitely push for Mongolian version for official usage.


PS- I am curious about what is weekdays name in India and Tibet?

I guess this does not answer your question, but I think in Mongolia the number-based system (probably adopted from Russian?) is really the one used most commonly.
