That's strange that it returns more Google results. That must be a symptom of some other sort of misspelling in like an album cover or maybe even from Russian. Бызаанчы is the actual Tuvan word. -- Stacey Doljack Borsody 23:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC) reply

I think it must be a Russian misspelling, as the majority of Cyrillic sites that talk about it would likely be based in Russia rather than Tuva. I'd like to keep it in, maybe noting that it's the Russian spelling, because it does bring up a lot of websites with photos, descriptions, etc. Badagnani 00:01, 3 February 2007 (UTC) reply
