What are your thoughts on the traditional Mongolian script? (read up-to-down; left-to-right) Mongolia plans to switch away from the Cyrillic script and back to this, however it will be written sideways on most platforms (ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ). Though some websites do support vertical text.
Here's a website in it for example:

It'll probably just be an Uzbekistan-like scenario where they've officially switched to a different script, but most people still use Cyrillic.

dont worry, fren, you will learn it quickly
Ian Gutierrez
stubborn older generations will die out and cyrillic will be gone
David Myers
1. Each letter has 3 possible forms depending on if its in the beginning middle or end of a word
2. The spelling in the old script is still in the medieval pronunciation, theres sounds written in we dont say anymore. In modern its written baatar, in old its writen baghadur.
3. I was never taught it cause im too old to have had it in school.
Lucas Gutierrez
Mongolian Cyrillic still has a lot of historical spelling, though. Are you saying traditional mongolian is worse in that regard?
Alexander Jackson
then learn it dumbass I know you spend 14 HOURS A DAY HERE, you have enough time to learn a script
You literally have no aspirations and even if you did you sure as hell aren’t leaving Mongolia to a country better suited for them
Matthew Anderson
Nah kids/teenagers can read it very well and they'll stop printing things for official documents in cyrillic in like 10 years or something. I have to learn sooner or later.
Mongolian cyrillic is almost entirely phonetic afaik, at least i cant think of examples where it isnt.
Michael Anderson
Wdym 14 hours a day? I'm not the only Mongolian here. Also its the holidays weirdo, give people a break.

More dumb obscurantism, as is to expected from anticommunist regime #825721930. Should keep Cyrillic and work towards Romanisation, even.
Christopher Cooper
I was browsing Mongolian words on Wiktonary earlier, and I noticed that the pronunciation and the spelling were more disconnected than most Cyrillic-script languages.
ex)
aвapгa = /ˈaw̜rəG/

Should jump straight to romanization and beat people to it from day 0

I don't see how switching scripts has anything to do with any political-economic philosophy.
Wyatt Diaz
Fun fact: since mongolian is written from upwards to downwards, the websites that use traditional mongolian are horizontal, check it out for yourself, its trippy as fuck

Jayden Cruz
Aвapгa is phonetic pretty much, at least the way I speak the a at the end has a hint of being pronounced.
Cooper Ortiz
It's like seeing the letters of a whole new world. very interesting
Dylan Gray
Yeah, numbers and non-vertical script letters (Latin, Cyrillic) are also flipped to fit with the text direction.

Luke Evans

I mean, it's phonetic in a similar way that English spelling is phonemic. Lower correlation between sounds and writing, silent letters, vowel reduction, some flipped sounds, difference in voicing, and so forth.
Not to imply that all orthographies NEED to be completely phonemic, no, for some languages that would be a bad thing (especially those with a lot of homophones like Japanese, and with some "historical" elements still being retained in certain dialects like Thai); I'm just pointing out that compared to most languages using the Cyrillic script, Mongolian spelling is less phonemic.
Easton Rogers
I corrected myself before posting and thought I replaced all instances of "phonetic" with "phonemic", ignore the first one.
Carson Garcia
I see, i barely speak Russian so this never really came to mind. Very cool dude
