The Old Uyghur script and its descendants, of which traditional Mongolian is one among Oirat Clear, Manchu, and Buryat are the only known vertical scripts written from left to right. Various schools of orthography, some using diacritics, were developed to avoid ambiguity. The development over this period explains why the Mongolian script looks like a vertical Arabic script (in particular the presence of the dot system). The main features of the period are that the vowels and i had lost their phonemic significance, creating the i phoneme (in the Chakhar dialect, the Standard Mongolian in Inner Mongolia, these vowels are still distinct) inter-vocal consonants g, b w had disappeared and the preliminary process of the formation of Mongolian long vowels had begun the initial h was preserved in many words grammatical categories were partially absent, etc. in the western dialect, materials of the ArabMongolian and PersianMongolian dictionaries, Mongolian texts in Arabic transcription, etc. The principal documents from the period of the Middle Mongol language are: in the eastern dialect, the famous text The Secret History of the Mongols, monuments in the Square script, materials of the ChineseMongolian glossary of the fourteenth century zh, and materials of the Mongolian language of the middle period in Chinese transcription, etc. The Mongolian script has been adapted to write languages such as Oirat and Manchu.Īlphabets based on this classical vertical script are used in Inner Mongolia and other parts of China to this day to write Mongolian, Xibe and experimentally, Evenki.
Derived from the Old Uyghur alphabet, Mongolian is a true alphabet, with separate letters for consonants and vowels.
