Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia and it is widely spoken and a known member of the Mongolic language. Modern Mongolian evolved from Middle Mongol, the language spoken during the Mongol empire of the 13th and 14th centuries. During its transition, a major shift in the vowel-harmony paradigm occurred, long vowels developed, the case system changed slightly, and the verbal system was restructured. Mongolian is related to the extinct Khitan language.
Mongol language, also known as the Mongolian language, is a principal member of the Mongolian language family within the Altaic language group; the language is spoken by 7 million people in Mongolia and the autonomous regions of Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang and the provinces of Qinghai and Gansu in China. The Khalkha dialect constitutes the basis for the official language of Mongolia. The other dialects, the number and grouping of that are controversial, are spoken predominantly in China, with the closely related Buryat language, Mongol forming the eastern group of Mongolian languages.
Some Fascinating Mongolian Language Facts
The Mongolian language sounds quite harmonious. This is because it uses vowel harmony. This means that the vowels in a word or sentence can affect each other, in terms of what is allowed to be used. For example, if an “o” sound is used, then only complementary vowel sounds will make up the rest of the word or sentence. However, with an influx of modern English words and Mandarin Chinese slang words, this rule cannot always be observed. There are two alphabets used in the Mongolian language. One is Cyrillic, and the other is traditional Mongolian script. The former is used for the Khalka dialect of Mongolian, while the latter is used in Inner Mongolian.
Linguistically, the Mongolian language is a fascinating one. If you have an interest in languages and their diasporic nature, then this is an excellent language to study simply from an academic point of view. Mongolia has such an interesting history and has been ruled by various nomadic empires, which have all had an impact on the language itself. The country of Mongolia is also a great place to travel. It is not often thought of as a tourist destination, but the tourism industry of Mongolia has been increasing steadily in the last few years. It is the 19th largest country in the world, and as such has many different kinds of landscapes and terrain to explore. The Mongolian language is spoken throughout Mongolia, so this would be an excellent advantage to a trip or vacation.
Some Interesting Facts About Mongolia
The official Mongolian name for the Naadam Festival is “Eriin Gurvan Naadam” which translates to: “the three games of men”. The three games are wrestling archery, and horse riding. Therefore, the festival centers on these three sports:
TWrestling: the rules of Mongolian require you to make your opponent touch the ground with any part of his except hands or feet. Unfortunately, women are not allowed to participate in the wrestling. In one year, one woman sneaked into a competition disguised as a man and won the entire event. To avoid this deception happening again, the participants are required to wear an open-sleeved top. A reason alone to watch this sport we say!
Horse riding: the horse riding competition takes place outside of the main stadium in Ulaanbaatar and also around the country, with races around 15-30km long. If you're touring Mongolia in early/mid-July, you're very likely to see some of the horse riding rehearsals taking place. This event is now mixed, so girls are allowed to participate.
Archery: another mixed sport. It is played by teams of ten. Each archer is given 4 arrows and the team must hit 33 “surs”. Men shoot their arrows from 75 meters (246 feet) away while women shoot theirs from 65 meters (213 feet). During the competition and later at the medal ceremony, the archers wear their national clothing called “deel”.
Based on 2011 estimates, of the total population, 97.4% are literate (96.8% male and 97.9% female). There was a time when education in Mongolia was managed by Buddhist monasteries and only monks had access to it. Today, Mongolia has 178 colleges, universities, and teacher training colleges, of which 42 are public. The National University of Mongolia (established in 1942), situated in Ulaanbaatar, was the country’s first modern institution of higher education.
Religion: 53% Buddhist Lamaist, 3% Islam, 2.2% Christian, 2.9 % Shamanist, 0.4% other, 38.6% none (2010 est.)
