Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia and both the most widely spoken and best-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. In Mongolia, the Khalkha dialect is predominant, and is currently written in both Cyrillic and traditional Mongolian script, while in Inner Mongolia, the language is dialectally more diverse and is written in the traditional Mongolian script.
The Mongolian language is structured with words with suffixes and prefixes without modifying the radical and seems quite harmonious. The masculine and feminine words are characterized by the nature and the number of vowels used. Thus we find words which can contain only masculine vowels and vice versa. Although Mongolian has, like other Altaic languages, a harmony of vowels and variations: nominative, genitive, accusative, dative, instrumental, comitative ... However, with the borrowing of modern English words and slang words Mandarin Chinese, this rule cannot always be observed.
It is estimated to have around five million speakers, but the exact number is not known due to lack of census information and the fact that there are many ethnic tribes speaking hybrid versions of the Mongolian language. . In Mongolia itself, the Mongolian language is spoken by around 2.5 million people.
