{{Main|Music of Mongolia#Overtone singing}}
It is thought that the art of overtone singing originated in southwestern [[Mongolia]] in today's [[Khovd Province]] and [[Govi-Altai Province|Govi Altai]] region. Nowadays, overtone singing is found throughout the country and Mongolia is often considered the most active center of overtone singing in the world.<ref>Sklar, 2005</ref> The most commonly practiced style, called {{transliteration|mn|khöömii}} ([[Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]]: {{lang|mn|хөөмий}}), can be divided up into the following categories:

* {{transliteration|mn|Uruulyn}} / labial khöömii
* {{transliteration|mn|Tagnain}} / palatal khöömii
* {{transliteration|mn|Khamryn}} / nasal khöömii
* {{transliteration|mn|Bagalzuuryn, khooloin}} / glottal, throat khöömii
* {{transliteration|mn|Tseejiin khondiin, khevliin}} / chest cavity, stomach khöömii
* {{transliteration|mn|Turlegt, khosmoljin khöömii}} / khöömii combined with [[long song]]

Mongolians also use many other singing styles such as {{transliteration|mn|karkhiraa}} (literally 'growling') and {{transliteration|mn|isgeree}}.
