History of Mongolian
Mongolian descends from the language of the Mongol Empire, which under Genghis Khan became the largest contiguous land empire in history. The traditional script, adapted from Uyghur, was used for centuries. Soviet influence brought Cyrillic in 1941. Mongolia has recently mandated traditional script education to preserve cultural heritage.
Is Mongolian Hard to Learn?
Mongolian uses vowel harmony and agglutination like Turkish. The Cyrillic script is learnable, but the traditional vertical script is more challenging. Grammar differs significantly from European languages with subject-object-verb order and postpositions instead of prepositions.
