About the Book

English summary: This English-language textbook is designed for individuals interested in the Classical Mongolian script and the language, culture, and history of the Mongolians around the world, whether in Mongolia, Russia, or the People's Republic of China. No prior knowledge of modern Mongolian or the Cyrillic script is required. It also refrains from delving deeply into complex linguistic aspects. Emphasizing accessible material, the easy-to-follow lessons offer a contemporary introduction to the language. Content related to the culture and history of the Mongolian people complement the linguistic lessons. The textbook begins with a brief overview of the historical evolution of the Classical script before moving on to lessons about fundamental grammatical principles. The lessons feature simple instructions and many modern examples from everyday life. Illustrations in Classical script are consistently paired with English translations, as well as scholarly transliterations and Cyrillic transcriptions. This helps with learning the transliteration system while also supporting those already familiar with Cyrillic.The lessons are supplemented by numerous accompanying materials that have never been published in any other textbook before. Such materials give learners the opportunity to explore Mongolian calligraphy, see various fonts, and acquire proficiency in typing the old script on a computer. Additionally, a curated selection of invaluable online resources is included, comprising dictionaries, news outlets, research materials, and historical texts. For those interested in the distinctive characteristics of Buryat, Kalmyk, Oirat, Barga, Khalkha, and Qinghai Mongolian dialects, the book contains illustrative examples for reading and comparative analysis. Furthermore, a replica of an archival document is provided to facilitate practice in deciphering and comprehending historical sources. It is a great time to learn Classical Mongolian. From 2025, Mongolia plans to have all official documents written in both the Classical script and the Cyrillic script currently in use. Conversely, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, native language classes for ethnic Mongolian children have been significantly curtailed since 2020. This textbook is intended to contribute to Mongolian studies and the ongoing discourse on language and cultural policy in the academic world. The book also aims to foster debate on minority language policies throughout society. German description: Dieses englischsprachige Lehrbuch wendet sich an alle, die sich fur die klassische mongolische Schrift und die Sprache, Kultur und Geschichte der Mongolen interessieren - ganz gleich ob in der Mongolei, Russland oder der Volksrepublik China. Es setzt keine Kenntnisse der modernen mongolischen Sprache oder der kyrillischen Schrift voraus und behandelt sprachwissenschaftliche Aspekte nicht im Detail. Im Vordergrund steht die gute Zuganglichkeit des Materials und eine leicht nachvollziehbare Struktur der Lektionen. Dabei wird neben Sprachkompetenz auch die Kultur und Geschichte der verschiedenen mongolischen Volkerschaften vermittelt. Das Lehrbuch fuhrt zu Beginn in die geschichtliche Entwicklung der klassischen Schrift ein und wendet sich im Weiteren ihren wichtigsten grammatischen Grundlagen zu. Ein moderner Lernansatz mit klaren, leicht verstandlichen Anweisungen und mit vielen ansprechenden Beispielen aus dem Alltagsleben ermoglicht einen unkomplizierten Einstieg in den Spracherwerb. Dabei ist dem Anschauungsmaterial in klassischer Schrift neben einer englischen Ubersetzung immer auch die wissenschaftliche Transliteration und kyrillische Umschrift beigestellt. Dies hilft beim Erlernen des Transliterationssystems und unterstutzt zusatzlich all diejenigen, die bereits uber Kenntnisse des Kyrillischen verfugen. Die Lektionen sind um zahlreiches Begleitmaterial erganzt, wie es bisher noch in keinem anderen Lehrbuch erschienen ist. So bekommen die Lernenden die Moglichkeit, sich mit der mongolischen Kalligrafie, aber auch mit unterschiedlichen Schriftfonts und dem Schreiben am Computer in klassischer Schrift zu beschaftigen. Dazu ist eine Sammlung nutzlicher Webseiten enthalten, welche u.?a. Worterbucher, Nachrichten, wissenschaftliche Quellen und weitere Texte enthalt. Fur diejenigen, die sich fur die Besonderheiten der Sprachdialekten der Burjaten, Kalmucken, Oiraten, Barga, Chalch und Qinghai-Mongolen interessieren, bietet das Buch Anschauungsbeispiele zur Lekture und zum Vergleich an. Auch fur das Lesen historischer Quellen ist der Abdruck eines Archivdokuments zum Uben enthalten. Es ist eine gute Zeit, um klassisches Mongolisch zu lernen. Die Mongolei plant ab dem Jahr 2025 alle amtlichen Dokumente nicht nur in der heute dort gebrauchlichen kyrillischen Schrift, sondern zusatzlich auch in klassischer Schrift ausfertigen zu lassen. In der Autonomen Region Innere Mongolei der Volksrepublik China hingegen wird der muttersprachliche Unterricht fur ethnisch mongolische Kinder seit dem Jahr 2020 stark eingeschrankt. Dementsprechend soll das Lehrbuch uber einen Beitrag zur Mongolistik hinaus auch als Beitrag zur aktuellen sprach- und kulturpolitischen Diskussion in der Wissenschaft verstanden werden und hofft der gesellschaftlichen Debatte, um Sprach- und Minderheitenpolitik einen zusatzlichen Anstoss zu geben.
