Dictionary of Mongolian Language Published

Chinese linguists say there are 5,000 most frequently used words in the modern Mongolian language.

This idea is encapsulated in a recently published dictionary for preparing textbooks, translations, and computer-processing of the language.

Experts from a dozen of countries including Germany, Japan, the United States, and Mongolia commended the dictionary at an international meeting hosted by the Inner Mongolia University.

The dictionary was jointly complied by the Inner Mongolia Academy of Social Sciences and a regional language committee.

The dictionary was published by the Inner Mongolia Education Press in Hohhot, the capital of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and received a national book prize this year.
