[edit] What writing system(s) does this language use?

The Mongolian Language uses primarly the cyrillic alphabet, which is also used by Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. It used a variety of other scripts over the years until it finaly settled with Cyrillic in 1937, influenced by the U.S.S.R. The Mongolian-Cyrillic alphabet uses the following: | Аа | | Пп |- | Бб | | Рр |- | Вв | | Сс |- | Гг | | Тт |- | Дд | | Уу |- | Ее | | Үү |- | Ёё | | Фф |- | Жж | | Хх |- | Зз | | Цц |- | Ии | | Чч |- | Йй | | Шш

The Cyrillic alphabet is still currently used.
