The Mongolian language

There are various dialects of Mongolian and the language is spoken in several countries. Six million people speak the language, spread across China, Kirgizia, Russia and, of course, Mongolia. It is the native language of most of the population of Mongolia. Mongolian is a member of the Mongolic family of languages which are spoken in East Central Asia.

The language has been written in various alphabets over the centuries, mainly because of the influence of Russian and Chinese. The Mongolian alphabet was created in the twelfth century but it has since undergone a number of significant transformations. Strangely enough, the Mongolian alphabet isn’t used in Mongolia, although words and sentences in this alphabet are used on things like government buildings and bank notes. The Mongolian alphabet is used in China however, making it the only country that used the alphabet instead of the Cyrillic alphabet. Mongolia itself uses 1941 an adapted Cyrillic alphabet based on Russian and Mongolian which, apart from a couple of exceptions, is very similar to the Russian alphabet.
