Modern Mongolic refers to the group of languages spoken by the Mongolic peoples, primarily in Mongolia, China, and parts of Russia. The most widely spoken language in this group is Mongolian, which has several dialects, including Khalkha and Buryat. These languages share common linguistic features and have evolved from the historical Mongolic language family. The Modern Mongolic languages are part of the larger Altaic language family, which also includes Turkic and Tungusic languages. They are characterized by vowel harmony, agglutination, and a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order. Modern Mongolic languages continue to be vital for cultural identity and communication among the Mongolic peoples.
