MONGOLIC: MONGOLIAN, BURYAT, & KALMYK-OIRAT

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Mongolian is the main language of the Mongolic language family, originating from the Mongolian Plateau. It is spoken by ethnic Mongols and related Mongolic peoples in modern Mongolia and surrounding regions in East and North Asia. Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia and is recognized in Xinjiang and Qinghai. There are approximately 8.5-9 million speakers across all dialects, including most residents of Mongolia and many ethnic Mongols in Inner Mongolia, China. In Mongolia, Khalkha Mongolian is predominant and written in both Cyrillic and traditional Mongolian script.
Buryat is a variety of the Mongolic languages spoken by the Buryats and Bargas, classified either as a language or a major dialect group of Mongolian. Most Buryat speakers reside in Russia along the northern border of Mongolia, where it is an official language in the Republic of Buryatia. According to the 2002 Russian census, around 350,000 ethnic Buryats (72.3%) reported speaking Buryat, with an additional 16,000 speakers, mostly ethnic Russians. There are also at least 100,000 ethnic Buryats in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China.
Kalmyk Oirat is a variety of the Oirat language spoken by the Kalmyk people in Kalmykia, a federal subject of Russia. It is the standard form of Oirat in Russia, based on the Torgut dialect, and is part of the Mongolic language family. The Kalmyk people, who reside in Russia's Northwest Caspian Sea region, descend from the Oirats of Eurasia, with historical settlements in Mongolia and Northwest China. UNESCO classifies the language as "Definitely endangered." According to the 2021 Russian census, there are 110,000 speakers out of an ethnic population of 178,000.
