12 languages are spoken in Mongolia. The national language is Mongolian (Khlakha), spoken by about 90% of the population. There are 64 000 speakers of Buriat ; 35 000 Mandarin -speakers; 205 000 Kalmyk-Oirat -speakers; 120 000 Kazakh -speakers and 27 000 Tuvin -speakers.

Mongolians have two given names and no family name. The first given name derives from the father’s name and usually ends with -iin or-yn. The second given name is the name used in mailings and on address blocks. It is usually written in capital letters on the envelope.

Women retain their names upon marriage.
