Mongol Scripts


Herein is listed some 11 different scripts that have been used to write the Mongol language during the past 800 years from the days of Chinggis Khaan until the present day. The section for each script contains an example of the word "Mongol" in that script along with a brief history of its usage. Many have scans from Mongolian books that chart how the symbols are used compared against another script such as Latin, Cyrillic or Tibetan and have links to more information where available. The examples are my own attempt at reconstructing the script from the information provided.

 In its Strategic Plan 2011-2017 EUROSAI has committed itself to provide high quality translation of the ISSAIs and INTOSAI GOVs into the official EUROSAI languages.
 Goal Team 2 promotes the translation of the standards into Russian (the only EUROSAI working language in which they do not already exist) and provides them on this website.
Goal Team 2 also offers other materials and documents related to the ISSAI framework in its section
 SAIs that wish to translate the ISSAI into their national languages should observe the Translation policy of the INTOSAI PSC.
