Hello, my partner in crime and I are working on a documentary film about Mongolia. The material was captured in Mongolia in June 2024. This film aims to show what it means to be a Nomad in modern-day Mongolia and tie it together with the history and timeless forces of the landscape. And we need help with translations. We are looking for a native-Mongolian speaker who can speak English and can help us translating dialogues in our materials from Mongolian to English - so that we can create subtitles. If there's anyone who would like to contribute – please contact me. It is our private project, we do not have any budget or a sponsor and we are not making any money on this - so we cannot really pay much, but we can discuss some small reimbursement for the work that needs to be done :) If you would like to talk about it and contribute - let me know. I added some screenshots to give you an idea on what are we working on.

Does anyone know of any good textbook to learn Khorchin Mongolian? The only textbooks I found teach the dialect spoken in Outer Mongolia and the cyrillic script. Thanks in advance

Since yy usually makes a uu sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKJLvSnf2jA&t=3s&ab_channel=MongolianLanguage%5CNomiinGerSchool in this video at 1:21 why does it sound like she is saying "doh"? My ideas so far is maybe it had to do with the devoiced "L"

I came across this sentence in Mongolian, and I'm curious about its meaning. Specifically, what does "булдаж" mean here? Does it mean "compact" here?

What is the singer saying? I really want to learn the text, but can’t find it anywhere

Mongolian from Inner Mongolia here. I'm still learning cyrillic Mongolian and I wonder how to write my in it. My name is ᠬᠠᠢᠢᠷ᠎ᠠ (haaira), should I write my name like " Хааира", since it pronounces that way, or should I just write " Хаир"? Thanks a lot for helping.

Good evening!

I want to learn more about the Chakhar dialect of Inner Mongolia, but it seems hard to find good learning resources online. I found http://www.studymongolian.net/, but other than that I don't find many sources. Do you guys know any good websites, Youtube channels or books to learn Chakhar Mongolian?

Also, can someone tell me how different Chakhar is from Khalkha dialect? Are speakers of each dialect able to understand each other?

I'm really thankful for your help!

Trying to impress my friend by pronouncing their name correctly. Can anyone advise how to?

Hello, I am currently living Seoul and I am about to take a weekend trip to Ulaanbaatar. I have two full days to explore. I am familiar with sightseeing spots in the city; however, I was curious if anyone has any suggestions for a good day trip outside of the city? I’m aware that most of these trips require more time, but any suggestions or general travel advice would be appreciated!

Hello, I'm making a documentary about the impact of climate change on Mongolian herders. I'm looking for Mongolian people who can help me translate Mongolian videos into English or French. The film will be produced at various festivals in France. Thank you for your help🇲🇳🤝

Do you know of any Mongolian graded readers? I'd like to start reading but everything I've picked up so far was too difficult to understand.

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to say "cheers" when drinking alcohol in Mongolian, and I thought I could find a native here who could tell me the appropriate way to say it!

Do you guys know any Mongolian speaking person near Kansas city that can or knows someone that is willing to do Mongolian Interpreting.

How do you form compound words in Mongolian? If Nar means “sun” how do you get narantsetseg (sunflower)?

Hi! I’ve been able to find texts that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet online, but not so much luck in the traditional writing system. Not sure where to look, and wanted to know if anyone has resources. Any ages/ranges are fine!

Hi everyone, I've recently joined this sub reddit and I've decided that I have wanted to dedicate myself to learning Mongolian. Although I am aware of the governments plans to nationalise the Mongolian traditional script, I would still like to learn the Cyrillic script as it would be useful as of now. However the only issue is that I typically write with cursive handwriting and simply cannot stand writing blocky. I wanted to ask if Mongolians typically do write in cursive? And if they do, is anyone please willing to send a written alphabet so I could more easily learn to write and recognise each letter in cursive? I would appreciate it so so so much!

Anyone who taken a few lessons on the languages of the nearby East Asia countries would know their languages particularly Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin don't have a real R and L sound in the way its pronounced like in English and for a lot of loan words you'll get a pronunciation by native speakers that sounds like an in between ENglish L and R. In fact a lo of speakers who become fluent enough in English to speak smoothly will often end up making words with l sound like and r and voice versa (like Chinese person pronouncing flying as "frying" and Japanese people trying to pronounce the name Mary but instead sounding more like they said the name Mally).

So I'm wondering does Mongolian go through the same phenomenon like her East Asian neighbor's languages?
