Mongolian: Kalmuk...
"Kalmuk, or Kalmyk, is spoken by less than a third of the 180,000
inhabitants of the Kalmuk Autonomous SSR (Capital, Elista) of

the Soviet Union.   Kalmuk is one of the Oirst Mongolian
languages (dialects) spoken in the Mountain-Altai Autonomous
SSR of the Soviet Union (Torgut dialect), and southward in
China and southwestern Mongolia (Darbat, Zahachin, Mingat,
and other dialects).   The Kalmuk alphabet is an adaptation of the
Mongolian script, devised in 1648 by Lama Zaya Pandita.   It is
more suited to the phonetic structure of the Mongolian tongues
than is the Mongolian alphabet."

Mongolian: Khalka...
"Khalka Mongolian is the official language of the People’s
Republic of Mongolia, formerly known as Outer Mongolia.   It
is spoken with local variations by an estimated 600,000 people.

Mongolian is spoken in many dialects over a vast area centering
on, rather than contained by, the Mongolian Republic.   An
Altaic language, Mongolian is generally divided into the
Khalka, Buriat (Northern), and Kalmuk (Western) dialect
groups.   Literary Mongolian (q.v.) is considered separately in
this book, although Khalka serves as the basis for the modern
literary language in use in the Mongolian Republic."
