Mongolic languages are a group of languages spoken primarily in Mongolia, as well as in parts of China, Russia, and Central Asia. The main languages in this family include Mongolian, Buryat, and Kalmyk. Mongolic languages are characterized by agglutinative grammar, where words are formed by combining various affixes, and vowel harmony, which influences the pronunciation of vowels within a word. Mongolian, the most widely spoken language in this family, has a rich literary tradition and uses both the traditional vertical script and the Cyrillic alphabet. The study of Mongolic languages provides insights into the cultural history, social structures, and nomadic traditions of the Mongolian peoples, as well as their interactions with neighboring cultures throughout history.
