Grammar
The following description is based primarily on Khalkha Mongolian. In particular, the phonology section describes the Khalkha dialect as spoken in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's capital. The phonologies of other varieties such as Ordos, Khorchin, and even Chakhar, differ considerably. In contrast, most of what is said about morphology and syntax also holds true for Chakhar, while Khorchin is somewhat more diverse.
