The Mongolian language is a member of the Mongolic language family, primarily spoken in Mongolia and parts of China, particularly in the Inner Mongolia region. It has several dialects, with Khalkha being the most widely spoken. The language uses the Cyrillic script in Mongolia, while traditional vertical script is still used in some areas. Mongolian is known for its rich vowel harmony and agglutinative structure, meaning that it forms words by adding various prefixes and suffixes. The language has a unique phonetic system, which includes sounds not found in many other languages. It plays a crucial role in the cultural identity of the Mongolian people.
