Script: Cyrillic

Name: Mongolian (Монгол хэл — Mongol khel)

Style: Cyrillic with unique letters not present in Russian. Long vowels are often written as double vowels

Unique letters (not used in Russian): Ө ө — open “O”, Ү ү — “U” with a hook

Examples: Ө, Ү, ӨӨ, АА, ЭЭ, уул (mountain), хүн (person), дэлгүүр (shop)

How to distinguish from nearby languages:

vs Russian:
Russian does not contain Ө or Ү, and long vowels written as АА / ӨӨ are extremely rare

vs Kazakh / Kyrgyz:
These languages use letters like Ә, Қ, Ң, Ұ, І, which do not appear in Mongolian. Mongolian instead relies heavily on Ө and Ү.

Quick visual giveaway:
Cyrillic text with Ө / Ү + frequent doubled vowels = Mongolian.

Standard English “STOP” signs are also widespread across the country.
