Many alphabets have been devised for the Mongolian language over the centuries, and from a variety of scripts. The oldest, called simply the Mongolian script, has been the predominant script during most of Mongolian history, and is still in active use today in the Inner Mongolia region of China and de facto use in Mongolia. It has spawned several alphabets, either as attempts to fix its perceived shortcomings, or to allow the notation of other languages, such as Sanskrit and Tibetan. In the 20th century, Mongolia first switched to the Latin script, and then almost immediately replaced it with the Cyrillic script for compatibility with the Soviet Union, its political ally of the time. Mongols in Inner Mongolia and other parts of China, on the other hand, continue to use alphabets based on the traditional Mongolian script.
Precursors
The Xianbei spoke a proto-Mongolic language and wrote down several pieces of literature in their language. They are believed to have used Chinese characters to phonetically represent Xianbei like the Japanese system of Man'yōgana but all works written in Xianbei are now lost.

In the Mongolian capital Ulan Bator, some students are taking a pass on the commonly used Cyrillic alphabet and focusing their efforts on learning a traditional, vertical Mongolian script that dates back to the empire of Genghis Khan. They are among a growing number of Mongolians who are inspired to study the ancient letters after seeing protests in China’s Inner Mongolia region against a new language policy to replace Mongolian with Mandarin in schools.

Why Is Mongolia Changing Its Alphabet?
What do you think of when you think about Mongols? Horse archers, throat singing, Genghis Khan.. How about language? Mongolian of course, but how is that magical speech actually written down? If you walk around in Ulaanbaatar or any other Mongolian city and you’ll see the signs are written in Cyrillic as in neighbouring Russia. If you cross the border into Inner Mongolia in China, the people use a very different script, the traditional Mongolian script that is written vertically from top to bottom with an intricate system of strikes, dots and slashes that differs from the calligraphy of written Chinese as much as it does from the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet. But as of March 2020, the Mongolian government has decided to change its official script from Cyrillic, which it has used since 1941 a...

Tibetan vs Mongolian - The Hardest Spelling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D57_YAz5KAw - NativLang Response, The Hardest Language To Spell
Josh from NativLang claims that Tibetan has the hardest spelling on earth, well I'm here to say, if Tibetan is the current reigning champ then I think Mongolian has a good chance at taking the crown!
Note: I use a lot of words like "worst" and "abysmal" in this video. I just want to let everyone know I love both these languages and having "terrible" spelling just adds to the uniqueness of them. I mean nothing by it. Cheers!

How Do You Read Mongolian Traditional Script?
*This is an introductory video lesson for people who wish to learn or understand Traditional or Classical Mongolian script*
Hello everyone!
This idea has been on my mind for quite some time. I'm glad that I was finally able to bring it to reality. Of course, it's quite messy and there is so much room for improvement :O
In any case, I hope with this video, you would be able to understand the main structure of the Mongolian traditional script.
Quite a few people were interested in it, so I decided to make a video for it just to show the main principles behind it
Also, for these two words, it is completely possible to write with the corresponding letters using "galig". It's a type of this script that is specifically meant for foreign words, but I didn't use it to keep it more "Mongolian...

*This is an introductory video lesson for people who wish to learn or understand Traditional or Classical Mongolian script*
Hello everyone!
This idea has been on my mind for quite some time. I'm glad that I was finally able to bring it to reality. Of course, it's quite messy and there is so much room for improvement :O
In any case, I hope with this video, you would be able to understand the main structure of the Mongolian traditional script.
Quite a few people were interested in it, so I decided to make a video for it just to show the main principles behind it
Also, for these two words, it is completely possible to write with the corresponding letters using "galig". It's a type of this script that is specifically meant for foreign words, but I didn't use it to keep it more "Mongolian"
There were some technical faults in the video, I seem to have overlooked them. It took a lot of toll on my laptop when editing this video with over 10 layers of videos, images, and texts xD. Playback was very laggy and I missed some of the little errors, especially the "M" letters gone blurred because I downsized it :O

Mongolian writing systems
Many alphabets have been devised for the Mongolian language over the centuries, and from a variety of scripts. The oldest, called simply the Mongolian script, has been the predominant script during most of Mongolian history, and is still in active use today in the Inner Mongolia region of China and de facto use in Mongolia. It has spawned several alphabets, either as attempts to fix its perceived shortcomings, or to allow the notation of other languages, such as Sanskrit and Tibetan.

Mongolian writing systems
Many alphabets have been devised for the Mongolian language over the centuries, and from a variety of scripts. The oldest, called simply the Mongolian script, has been the predominant script during most of Mongolian history, and is still in active use today in the Inner Mongolia region of China and de facto use in Mongolia. It has spawned several alphabets, either as attempts to fix its perceived shortcomings, or to allow the notation of other languages, such as Sanskrit and Tibetan. In the 20th century, Mongolia first switched to the Latin script, and then almost immediately replaced it with the Cyrillic script for compatibility with the Soviet Union, its political ally of the time.

Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia and both the most widely spoken and most-known member of the Mongolic language family. The number of speakers across all its dialects may be 5.2 million, including the vast majority of the residents of Mongolia and many of the ethnic Mongol residents of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China.[1] In Mongolia, the Khalkha dialect is predominant and is currently written in both Cyrillic and traditional Mongolian script (and at times in Latin for social networking). In Inner Mongolia, the language is dialectally more diverse and is written in the traditional Mongolian script.

Julia Hanna. Kate Gladstone and Aya Katz interview Orgil Ligro about the Mongolian writing system. with a focus on the traditional script.
Our guest was born in Gobi Altai and spent his early childhood as a nomad. Around age six he moved to Ulaanbaatar, and eventually went to an international school in Sweden. At age 12 he returned to Mongolia and finished high school there. His university degree in economics was from an American university in Michigan. In 2016 he started his own business in digital marketing. His ultimate goal is to found a self sustaining eco friendly farm resort in Mongolia.

In the Mongolian capital Ulan Bator, some students are taking a pass on the commonly used Cyrillic alphabet and focusing their efforts on learning a traditional, vertical Mongolian script that dates back to the empire of Genghis Khan. They are among a growing number of Mongolians who are inspired to study the ancient letters after seeing protests in China’s Inner Mongolia region against a new language policy to replace Mongolian with Mandarin in schools.

What do you think of when you think about Mongols? Horse archers, throat singing, Genghis Khan.. How about language? Mongolian of course, but how is that magical speech actually written down? If you walk around in Ulaanbaatar or any other Mongolian city and you’ll see the signs are written in Cyrillic as in neighbouring Russia. If you cross the border into Inner Mongolia in China, the people use a very different script, the traditional Mongolian script that is written vertically from top to bottom with an intricate system of strikes, dots and slashes that differs from the calligraphy of written Chinese as much as it does from the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet. But as of March 2020, the Mongolian government has decided to change its official script from Cyrillic, which it has used since 1941 and instead is exchanging it for the traditional Mongolian Script and in this video I want to find out why by looking at the history of Mongolian scripts and how Mongols chose in which script they would write their language.

Many scripts have been devised for the Mongolian language.
The traditional Mongolian script is an alphabet with letters for consonants and vowels. It is written from left to right in vertical columns running from top to bottom. The letters have different shapes, depending on the position in a word.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D57_YAz5KAw - NativLang Response, The Hardest Language To Spell
Josh from NativLang claims that Tibetan has the hardest spelling on earth, well I'm here to say, if Tibetan is the current reigning champ then I think Mongolian has a good chance at taking the crown!
Note: I use a lot of words like "worst" and "abysmal" in this video. I just want to let everyone know I love both these languages and having "terrible" spelling just adds to the uniqueness of them. I mean nothing by it. Cheers!
*This is an introductory video lesson for people who wish to learn or understand Traditional or Classical Mongolian script*
Hello everyone!
This idea has been on my mind for quite some time. I'm glad that I was finally able to bring it to reality. Of course, it's quite messy and there is so much room for improvement :O
In any case, I hope with this video, you would be able to understand the main structure of the Mongolian traditional script.
Quite a few people were interested in it, so I decided to make a video for it just to show the main principles behind it
Also, for these two words, it is completely possible to write with the corresponding letters using "galig". It's a type of this script that is specifically meant for foreign words, but I didn't use it to keep it more "Mongolian"
There were some technical faults in the video, I seem to have overlooked them. It took a lot of toll on my laptop when editing this video with over 10 layers of videos, images, and texts xD. Playback was very laggy and I missed some of the little errors, especially the "M" letters gone blurred because I downsized it :O
