Aza Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Mogholian languages The Moghol language has been reported to be spoken by no more than 200 elderly people of a few thousand ethnic Moghols living near Herāt in Afghanistan. It is unique in preserving the high back unrounded vowel /ɯ/. Unlike some of the other outlying languages, it has lost Proto-Altaic */p/, but it preserves some unassimilated vowel sequences. The phonology and syntax of Moghol have been affected by Persian, and it has borrowed a large number of words from that language, including some function words. Like Daur, it is not closely related to any other extant Mongolian language. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/389392/Mongolian-languages/80010/Moghol?anchor=ref618063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
