This is actually my first time ever hearing some mongolian and it's actually so different from what i expected.

[@pgai824]

sounds like a mix of turkish and russian, so it sounds horrible lol

[@Unknown-rk9qm]

941024 I thought it sounds like Chinese

[@chronologuemusic8083]

Same. I thought it'd be easy enough to pronounce. Then I found out about [ɮ]...

[@waywayi8013]

Unknown Chinese isn't really a language. most people in China speak mandarin which was a language from the north. the ancient Chinese language were more like Cantonese nowadays. mandarin was a foreign language which was like Mongolian for Chinese people. after mandarin people invaded China , they forced Chinese to speak their language and cut their ugly ass haircut. and Chinese government considered mandarin as an official language was because it was easier to learn.

[@YummYakitori]

Unknown I’m Chinese and no it doesn’t sound close to Mandarin Chinese or any other Chinese dialect to me for that matter. In fact, most Chinese people would find some of the words in Mongolian language very hard to pronounce. That said however there has been some borrowing of loanwords between Mandarin Chinese and Mongolian throughout history due to frequent close contact. “Cherry” in Mandarin: 櫻桃兒 yingtao’r “Cherry” in Mongolian: интор intor “Peach” in Mandarin: 桃兒 tao’r “Peach” in Mongolian: тоор toor “Mushroom” in Mandarin: 蘑菇 mogu “Mushroom” in Mongolian: мөөг möög “General” in Mandarin: 將軍 jiangjun “General” in Mongolian: жанжин janjin “Candle/Wax” in Mandarin: 蠟 la “Candle” in Mongolian: лаа laa “Roadstop” in Mandarin: 站 zhan “Road” in Mongolian: зам zam “Vinegar” in Mandarin: 醋 tsu “Vinegar” in Mongolian: цуу tsuu “Cabbage” in Mandarin: 白菜 baitsai “Cabbage” in Mongolian: байцаа baitsaa “Princess” in Mandarin: 公主 gongzhu “Princess” in Mongolian: гүнж günzh Traditional Chinese weight measure: 斤 jin “Weight” in Mongolian: жин jin “Calendar” in Mandarin: 皇曆 huangli “Calendar” in Mongolian: хуанли huanli Just to name a few, there are in fact many more. It is said that the Chinese name for “Russia” (俄羅斯; Eluosi) is also a loanword from the Mongolian language, because the Mongolians first came into contact with the Russians and they could not pronounce the initial “R” consonant, hence “Russia” which is “Оросын” (Orosyn) in Mongolian has an additional vowel attached to it in the front which was later passed on to Chinese. Besides that, there are also some words in Mongolian which are directly translated from Chinese into Mongolian. For instance, “population” in Chinese is “人口 renkou” (literally “people mouth”). This has been directly translated into Mongolian “хүн ам” (hün am; “people mouth”). Other examples include “train” in Chinese which is “火車 huoche” (literally “fire car”) which has been directly translated into Mongolian “галт тэрэг” (galt tereg; “fire car”); and “corn” in Chinese which is “玉米 yumi” (literally “jade rice/grain”) which has been directly translated into Mongolian “эрдэнэ шиш” (erdene shish; “jade grain”). Even some of the national dishes of Mongolia and the Buryat region of Russia eg “buuz” (包子) and “khushuur” (火燒兒) are also Chinese loanwords. But Mongolian also contributed vocabulary to Chinese language including the word for “calf” (犢 du) and “mushroom” (蘑菇 mogu). Many Northern Chinese also add consonant particles such as “兒” (er/r) in what is known as “兒化音” or “子” (zi/z) behind words which did not originally exist in ancient Chinese, it is therefore possible that it is a feature borrowed from Mongolian into Chinese. There are also plenty of zh/ch/sh sounds, retroflex consonants in Mongolian which is similar to Mandarin Chinese, but ancient Chinese (Old Chinese) did not have these sounds and in many dialects spoken in Southern China today this feature has been preserved where “zh/ch/sh” sounds are omitted and replaced with “t/j” instead.

[@YummYakitori]

Mongolian is a completely different language from Russian - it sounds completely different. The only reason why Mongolian is written in the Cyrillic script (sometimes also known as the "Russian" alphabet) is because of the USSR. In Inner Mongolia (part of China), the Mongolian language is still written in the traditional script instead. Besides I realised there are very few English loanwords in Mongolian, if any at all. And if any of you are wondering - no; Mongolian is a completely different language from Mandarin Chinese, Korean or Japanese (not mutually intelligible AT ALL). It is closer to other languages spoken in Siberia & China such as Evenk, Oroqen, Manchu and Buryat (and possibly also Turkic languages like Turkish, Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz etc.)

[@Gutians]

YummYakitori the cyrillic alphabet isn't Russian its Bulgarian, thats where it orginated from

[@YummYakitori]

Reasonable That’s why I added inverted commas to “Russian” alphabet, because the Cyrillic script was invented in Bulgaria by Saints Cyril and Methodius. The most widely spoken/written language in the Cyrillic script is Russian hence it is almost always referred to as the Russian alphabet in the west

[@williamnorris6184]

If the Altaic languages proposal is true, then it would be related to Korean and Japanese. And it probably is slightly related to Chinese, just not much. Mongolia was controlled by China for centuries.

[@chongtak]

@@williamnorris6184 China was also controlled by diverse Mongolian tribes who got "sinicized" to fit Chinese history of imperial dynasties. As long as I know, Japanese and Korean grammar are mostly the same and my Mongolian and Turkish friends back when I lived in Japan confirmed that their language grammar was very similar. As for Chinese, there is no post position words as in Altaic languages, but the order of words in a long sentence are similar except for the predicate which comes after the verb.

[@zayazundui4819]

William Norris when we controlled by Chine? I wanna know really...Plus, there is not even one in common word with China, even though we have been neighbors for centuries.

Im actually mongolian, born and raised in germany but i still understand mongolian even though i cant speak or write it since i have no idea how the grammar works, but it was so soothing just to listen to the interviewer talking in fluid mongolian, the people answering and seeing the capital city in the background. The whole comment section is so kind, complimenting the language and it actually makes me really happy to know that mongolian isnt that unknown, that there are people who actually learn and study it! This video made me homesick for a country that has never been and probably will never be my home, but i still give my thanks out to you!

[@dadankramen]

[@syerikjansakin5124]

Ben DuMonde Thank you for watch. We will you show you more interesting videos like similarities between Mongolic and Turkic languages.

[@TheBluesLab]

Ben DuMonde I"ve heard that Turkish and Mongolian are somehow in one bigger language family.

[@TheBluesLab]

newtonop with the internet the world has become much smaller. In my youth I used to learn history with a huge focus on European history. Now we need to know better also the history of other civilisation centers. I even observed that the modern book for the world history are much more like this. And keeping in touch with you helps enormously.

[@AllTheSmallThings124]

[@benzvd]

If you know Japanese or Korean grammar and structure, the language is quite easy to learn, but the main challenge is hearing and pronouncing. For example, танилцах = to know, to be acquainted with танилц (verb stem) - ах (infinitive suffix) we add -уул- infix to make a causative verb танилц (verb stem) - уул - ах (infinitive suffix) => танилцуулах = to make sth known; to introduce

[@LazierSophie]

Your comment is very interesting and informative. Thank you!

[@benzvd]

@No Yes Yes, grammatically, Mongolian is similar to Japanese. But the main challenge is the pronunciation and listening. 文法的には、モンゴル語は、日本語と似ているんですが、一番難しいのは発音や聞き取りです。 私は、自分も日本で買った本「詳しくわかるモンゴル語文法」でモンゴル語を習っていました。

[@Staint12]

Sound like a very harsh korean + turkish. Very interesting.

[@alexeldritch1511]

Mongolian, as well as Korean and Turkish, belong to Altaic family of languages. Well this family of languages is disputable, but none the less.

[@devintariel3769]

Alex Eldritch It's just that original Turkic didn't sound like Mongolian, but after Turkic tribes assimilated with the mongol empire then the similarities occurred. I like researching this stuff, but a lot of people get very nationalistic and defensive if you say they're in anyway related to mongols or Turkic people etc.

[@allieb8585]

Devin Tariel I still ask myself this question even after so much research, but were the original Turkic tribes solely Asians like the Mongols? Or were they some other people's who interacted with Asians and Asians adopted their Turkic language and customs, if so, then where were Turkic people's originally from? Where did they come from? Were they Asian people's? and what other ethnic groups were similar to the Turkic people's?

[@armenianremovertaalatpasha4489]

aloe they were a mix of mongolid and eurasian.

[@YummYakitori]

Korean is not an Altaic language, it never was and never will be. According to the United Nations Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Korean language is the world's most widely spoken isolate language, followed by Basque. Languages belonging to the same language family and sharing the same roots / origins tend to have similar basic vocabulary. However, by comparing Native Korean & Mongolian numbers alone, we can see that there are absolutely no similarities. 1-10 in Korean: Hana (하나), Dul (둘), Set (셋), Net (넷), Daseot (다섯), Yeoseot (여섯), Ilgop (일곱), Yeodeol (여덟), Ahop (아홉), Yeol (열) 1-10 in Mongolian: Neg (нэг), khoyor (хоёр), gurav (гурав), döröv (дөрөв), tav (тав), zurgaa (зургаа), doloo (долоо), naim (найм), yes (ес), arav (арав) In contrast, Hindi which is an Indo-European language shares similarities in its basic vocabulary with other Indo-European languages like Greek. 1-10 in Hindi: एक दो तीन चार पांच छ सात आठ नौ दस ek do teen chaar paanch chh saat aath nau das 1-10 in Greek: ένα δύο τρία τέσσερα πέντε έξι επτά οκτώ εννέα δέκα éna dýo tría téssera pénte éxi eptá októ ennéa déka Similarly for Chinese & Tibetan (both languages of the Sino-Tibetan language family) 1-10 in Mandarin Chinese: 一二三四五六七八九十 Yi er san si wu liu qi ba jiu shi 1-10 in Cantonese: Yat yee sam sei ng lok tsaat baat gao sup 1-10 in Tibetan: Chig nyis sum shi nga druk dun gya gu chu

[@munkhbayarboldbat2787]

Please notice. This is an Ulaanbaatar accent. This accent tends to sound a little unclear comparing to countryside. As you can see on this video these people having a quasi russofied or anglified accent. I assure you. They won't accept it that they have accent. But when you go to country side and speak to those people you see these people have influenced accent. People from the countryside tends to sound more vivid or clear.

[@Physicist-]

That sound they make with the root of their tongue is really amazing

[@ivo140720]

This is the first time I've heard Mongolian and I must admit I am very fascinated! I really fancy the specific sounds but I find the Mongolian Cyrillic a bit confusing.

[@PhanteusZ]

Ivelin T.The grammar is not bad at all. Also the words follow the cyrrlic letters. For example, in English, words like Island and Asthma don't sound like what they are written. In Mongolian language, such words don't almost exist. You can predict how the word will sound from the looks of it. I do think the sentence structure might be the hardest part.

[@Kitulous]

@@PhanteusZ ​ mongolian cyrillic is a WAY less predictable than that of Russian or, in comparison, English. In English you can at least predict a little bit close to the reality, at least the consonant part, in Mongolian it looks like a mess (no offence) I'm a Russian native speaker so I know Cyrillic very good, and I have been tracking on the subtitles along the whole video. The sound and the text dissynchronized so often that I assure no one except Mongolians themselves cannot read nearly as fluent. Take a random passage I stopped the video at: Original: Та ямар мэргэжилтэй вэ, оороо? (I do not have the barred O so I apologize) What a Russian native speaker has heard: Ха ямар мырыхчильтэ вэ оро? Another random example (randomly skipped through the video): Бага хэмжээгээр, Англиар бол бага зэрэг ярьдаг What have I heard: Багым дцээрэньк шлар ат пахты цэрэге артык (артык, well, is similar to ярьдаг, so I got where the end of the passage was) Another one random example to be assured: Хуухэд залуусын амрах цэцэрлэгт хурээлэн бас (straight у was not on my keyboard either) What have I heard: Хухтэ задэсэян армхаян цц (WTF IS THIS CONSONANT BURST OMG I'M OUTTA HERE) So now you believe me that it's absolutely unpredictable? Yes, there is a LITTLE correspondence to Cyrillic consonants and vowels, but it's absolutely not anywhere near letter-in-letter.

[@xstoofpeer]

@@Kitulous Mongolian Cyrilic has slight differences from Russian

[@dadankramen]

I am a Mongol who was born and raised in Afghanistan. I am so excited to hear Mongolian however I could not understand any word. I must learn my language but unfortunately no such an opportunity in Afghanistan.

몽골어 넘 우아함. 불어같은 느낌? 예전에 몽골분이 몽골어로 대화하는거 들었는데 고급지고 톤이 부드러워서 무슨 말인지 모르지만 계속 듣고싶었음.

[@readysetgo4607]

As a turkish person living in France, I find this project very interesting. It is true that the best way of learning a language is to speak with natives. It especially helps for learning the idioms and expression of a language. Is there any way I could contact you guys to be part of this project? I'd like to learn more about it!

Recently I heard a group of asian looking girls at the metro in Stockholm. They were talking in a language I couldn't wrap my head around what it was. As a language nerd I tried to exclude which asian languages it was not. Mongolian was the last one left, and I had no clue how it sounded. But now I finally know, such unique sounds and features. Very fascinating!

I now know how to type "OK" in Mongolian : "3a" hehe

@Andrew Wayne 3a is Za, in Cyrillic the 3(non number) is a z and the A is well an A

@@ryanjones7961 I know Mongolian is not like Russian but it's interesting how that word is similar to the Russian word for 'yes' which is 'da'.

That's really interesting, at first I thought Mongolian was similar to Russian only due to the same alphabet, but now I notice it's totally different. I hope Mongolia develops even more its economy and also look for greener energy alternatives in order to reduce the pollution. Cheers from Brazil! :)

I have been trying to learn Mongolian for quite some time. Still on lesson 2. It is hard but rewarding to learn

[@Transterra55]

It almost sounds like some Native American languages, particularly the plains' languages like Lakota Sioux.

[@iashachilashvili3353]

[@EarthenCavy]

Mongolian sounds nothing at ALL like Lakota. It does, however, resemble Indee, the language of the Apache.

@@EarthenCavy I am not an expert on indigenous languages....that was what it sounded like to me. Sorry if I offended you.

Mongolia has such an interesting and rich culture. I'm glad to see it develop the way it's doing now, but I hope they can keep that culture strong; not submitting to the West, to China or Russia.

[@remen_emperor]

I found myself questioning myself the other day, "Surely Mongolian doesn't work like Chinese. I'm pretty sure they're alien from each other," but I wasn't sure. I'm not familiar with languages of the area, and the Mongols did have enough interaction with China to have some exchange. This was an excellent example of spoken Mongolian. I'm surprised by the Cyrillic subtitles, but I'm guessing that came from the unwilling interactions that Russia and Mongolia had (I believe multiple times through history?). Utterly alien from Sino-based languages

I find the faces and culture of Mongols so beautiful and fascinating. They look oriental Asian with an European build with some European features. (may vary). Despite their Asian appearance they speak what looks and sounds like Russian! For someone who doesn't know much about people from Mongolia, they seem to me like genetical beauties with a culture so influenced.

[@fermanrekica4766]

Apparently the first women in this video is a Kazakh Mongol. She is the only one I though who is Mongolian that look mixed until I read she was a Kazakh (who I think represent like 3-5% of Mongolia population).

[@umbrellashotgunman]

It’s worth noting that the usage of Cyrillic to write Mongolian is a relatively recent development originating from when Mongolia was a Soviet satellite during the Cold War; the Chinese-ruled parts of greater Mongolia still make some use of the original Uyghur-derived alphabet.

[@umbrellashotgunman]

@@ichkaodko7020 Of course; it’s just that *some* people out there see Mongolian written in Cyrillic and incorrectly assume that either A. Mongolia had no writing system until the Russians came, or B. Mongolian is a Slavic language.
