Mongolian: Literary...
"Mongolian is spoken in several forms throughout
the vast,
sparsely populated People’s Republic of Mongolia (with a
population exceeding 1.1 million), and by enclaves in the Soviet
Union and in Chinese Inner Mongolia,
Sinkiang, Ninghsia, and
Tibet. It is estimated that
Mongolian in all its forms is spoken by
more than 3,250,000 people.
Although the Mongolian people came into historical promin-
ence only in the 13th century, when they were united by Genghis
Khan, it is conjectured that some of the Huns, who ravaged 4th
century Europe, and the Kitan (Khitan), who in the 10th century
established a dynasty in Manchuria, were
Mongols. By about
the year 1260 the sons of Genghis Khan ruled an empire that
spread from Korea to Hungary. The Mongols were known
as
Tatars (with the Turkish people who joined them) and
Mogols
(in India). During the 14th to
16th centuries the Mongol Empire
declined and disintegrated, and the Mongols lapsed into Central-
Asian obscurity.
The official language of Mongolia is
Khalka Mongolian. Literary
Mongolian is not a spoken tongue, but a written language which,
like literary Arabic, reflects an
earlier form of the language. This
‘higher and purer’ form came into use as the administrative
language of the Mongol Empire. It was written in a modifica-
tion of the Uigur alphabet, which in
turn was based on the
Syrian writing introduced into Eastern Asia in the 6th or 7th
century by Nestorian mies. Distinct historical periods
can be noted in its development (Classical and Middle Mongol-
ian), and the modern literary language in use in the People’s
Republic is based on the Khalka usage, although it still differs
considerably from the vernacular. Although originally written
horizontally, the 30 letters of the Mongolian alphabet are now
read vertically, left to right." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info

"The book-language of the
natives of Mongolia, a higher and purer form
than the dialects. Reduced to written form by the Lamas Saskya Pan-
diat, Phags-pa Lama and Tshoitshi Odser in the 13th century, developed
from the Syriac brought to Asia by the
Nestorian mies. in the 7th
or 8th centuries." --1000 Tongues, 1939 [Info only:
