FOR REPOSTING TO THE “A LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ FORUM” (LLORG)
During the period from February 2020 through May 2020, I conducted a complete revision to the twenty-eight (28) lists of resources which I had posted on the LLORG during the previous three-year period. As revising these types of documents directly on the LLORG in the “Edit Mode” is fraught with difficulties, I removed their contents from the LLORG, stored them on my computer, and completed the revisions. During the revision process an event occurred which prevented me from reposting the contents to their original files and, as a contingency measure, I have posted them here on the HTLAL in the anticipation that either the Administrator or the Moderators of the LLORG will copy/paste them to the LLORG. - Speakeasy Mongolian Resources (copy) During the uploading of Mongolian Resources to the HTLAL (see separate listing), the website froze in an unending loop. Following several unsuccessful attempts at recovering the session, I logged off. Since that time, I have been unable to open the original list to confirm that the resources were, indeed, uploaded. For this reason, I have created this second listing entitled “Mongolian Resources (copy)” as a back-up. The contents of the two files are derived from the same source and should be identical. 1. INTRODUCTION Mongolia Mongolia Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улс, Trad.mong.: Monggol ulus) is a landlocked country in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between Russia to the north and China to the south, where it neighbours the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, although only 37 kilometres (23 mi) separate them…. – Source: Wikipedia Languages of Mongolia Mongolian languages, one of three subfamilies of the Altaic language family. The Mongolian languages are spoken in Mongolia and adjacent parts of east-central Asia. Their subclassification is controversial, and no one scheme has won universal approval. The central Mongolian languages are usually divided into a western group, consisting of the closely related Oirat (spoken in Mongolia and in the Xinjiang region of China) and Kalmyk (Russia), and an eastern group, consisting of the closely related Buryat (Russia) and Mongol (Mongolia and China) languages. Outlying languages—Moghol (spoken in Afghanistan), Daur (Inner Mongolia, China), Yellow Uighur (Gansu province, China), and the related groups of Monguor (Tu), Dongxiang, and Bao’an (Bonan), which are spoken on the border between the provinces of Gansu and Qinghai—exhibit archaic features. All of the central, but none of the outlying, languages have written forms. – Source: Mongolian languages (Mongolic languages) - Britanica.com Mongolian Language The Mongolian language 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 Mongolian residents of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.[1] In Mongolia, the Khalkha dialect, written in Cyrillic (and at times in Latin for social networking), is predominant, while in Inner Mongolia, the language is dialectally more diverse and is written in the traditional Mongolian script. In the discussion of grammar to follow, the variety of Mongolian treated is Standard Khalkha Mongolian (i.e., the standard written language as formalized in the writing conventions and in the school grammar), but much of what is to be said is also valid for vernacular (spoken) Khalkha and for other Mongolian dialects, especially Chakhar. – Source: Mongolian Language - Wikipedia Mongolian Writing Systems Many alphabets have been devised for the Mongolian language over the centuries, and from a variety of scripts …The most recent Mongolian alphabet is a based on the Cyrillic script, more specifically the Russian alphabet plus the letters. In 2020, the Mongolian government announced plans to restore the use of its traditional alphabet by 2025, replacing the Cyrillic script adopted under the Soviets … Mongolia abandons Cyrillic alphabet

Colloquial Mongolian (1st ed. 2015) 342 pages, by Jantsangiyn Bat-Ireedui and Alan J K Sanders - Routledge Colloquial Mongolian – AUDIO Recordings – Routledge website Generally speaking, the Routledge “Colloquial” courses are designed to meet the basic CEFR A0 communication needs of a short-term visitor to a region where the target language is spoken. In some instances, these courses go in slightly greater depth. The courses are accompanied by approximately 2 hours of AUDIO recordings which are now freely-available via the Routledge website (see link above). Customer reviews of Colloquial Mongolian on Amazon.COM and Amazon.CO.UK are surprisingly mixed; I would recommend that the prospective buyer read through them carefully.

Reviews are rather mixed and, despite the positive comments, I would tend to place this work on my B-List of resources.
