The Irtysh River ((モンゴル語:Эрчис мөрөн/Erchis),〔The Secret History of the Mongols〕 "erchleh", "twirl"; (ロシア語:Иртыш); (カザフ語:Ертiс / ''Yertis''); Chinese: 额尔齐斯河, pinyin: ''É'ěrqísī hé''; Uyghur: ئېرتىش; ) is a river in Siberia, China, and Kazakhstan. It is the chief tributary of the Ob River. The river's headwaters originate in the Altai Mountains on the Mongolian-Chinese borders. Irtysh's main affluents are the Tobol River and the Ishim River. The Ob-Irtysh system forms a major drainage basin in Asia, encompassing most of Western Siberia and the Altai Mountains. ==Geography== From its origins as the ''Kara-Irtysh'' (Black Irtysh) in the Mongolian Altay mountains in Xinjiang, China, the Irtysh flows northwest through Lake Zaysan in Kazakhstan, meeting the Ishim and Tobol rivers before merging with the Ob near Khanty-Mansiysk in western Siberia, Russia after . The name Black Irtysh (''Kara-Irtysh'' in Kazakh, or ''Cherny Irtysh'' in Russian) is applied by some authors, especially in Russia and Kazakhstan, to the upper course of the river, from its source entering Lake Zaysan. The term White Irtysh, in opposition to the Black Irtysh, was occasionally used in the past to refer to the Irtysh below lake Zaysan;〔, and the map before p. 65.〕 now this usage is largely obsolete. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irtysh River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
