What scripts does Mongolian use?

In the Republic of Mongolia, Mongolian (Монгол хэл) is officially written in a 35-letter Cyrillic alphabet adopted in 1946. In Inner Mongolia (China), the traditional vertical Mongolian script — written top to bottom in columns running left to right — is still standard. Mongolia announced in 2020 that it would reintroduce the traditional script for all official documents from 2025 alongside Cyrillic.

What grammar features does Mongolian have?

Mongolian is agglutinative, with SOV word order, no grammatical gender, and seven to eight cases marked by suffixes. It has strict vowel harmony, splitting vowels into masculine (back), feminine (front) and neutral classes. Verbs are marked for evidentiality — whether the speaker witnessed the event — through suffixes like -лаа vs -жээ. LingoBear lets you see these in real text.
