Mongolian Language And Scripts

the HISTORY of Mongolian Language And Scripts. Mongolian is an Altaic language spoken by approximately 5 million people in Mongolia, China, Afghanistan and Russia. There are a number of closely related varieties of Mongolian: Khalkha or Halha, the national language of Mongolia, and Oirat, Chahar and Ordos, which are spoken mainly in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China.

Other languages considered part of the Mongolian language family, but separate from Mongolian, include Buryat and Kalmyk, spoken in Russia and Moghul or Mogul, spoken in Afghanistan.

In 1208 Chinggis Khan defeated the Naiman, and captured their Uyghur scribe Tatar-Tonga, who apparently adapted the Old Uyghur alphabet to write Mongolian. The alphabet created by Tatar-Tonga is now known as the Uighur/Uyghur Script, the Classical Mongol Script, the Old Script, or Mongol Bichig in Mongolian.

Between the 13th and 15th Centuries, Mongolian was also written with Chinese characters, the Arabic alphabet and a script derived from Tibetan called Phags-pa.

As a result of pressure from the Soviet Union, Mongolia adopted the Latin alphabet in 1931 and the Cyrillic alphabet in 1937. In 1941 the Mongolian government passed a law to abolish the Classical Mongol script, but since 1994 they have been trying to bring it back. It is now taught to some extent in schools, though is mainly used for decorative purposes by artists, designers, calligraphers and poets. The average person in Mongolia knows little or nothing about the Classical Mongol script, though there is high literacy in Cyrillic. In Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China the Classical Mongol script is still used.

@qwertystudios1 yea, finnish are ural-altaic ppl and considered the brother to estonian, hungarian, bulgaria, turkish, central asian, korean and japanese. but actually, it is welcomed in turkey only. each country is proud of themselves and they rather feel disgusting to be called turan.

I seriously hate...the Russian influence in Mongolia. its...just not a place for it. Mongolia's culture, especially their old alphabet so nice. I hate Mongolian cryllic....really.

I really wish the Mongolian government wud reintroduce it. Mongolia looks,a little too "Russian" with Cryllic. fuck those ex commies for whining "The traditional alphabet is too hard!!!!!!" bunch of babiea

I really like the looks of the old Mongolian script. Looks beautiful.

[LerebLe]

@MongolUtuber Not exactly, almost most Mongolians dont understand Kalmyks and the Buryats

[anarmehtievful]

@anarmehtievful Is there any Mongolian Script software program that I may download on my laptop in order to type and write?

I wasn't aware that Mongols, Kalmyks, and Buriyats understand each other and consider themselves as one nation that is divided. I thought that each one of them speak totally different language.
