Oirat - Oirat (English spelling)

It is a language spoken in the Kovt region in northwest Mongolia and in the Xinjiang region of China. It is one of the Mongolian languages ​​and has a speaking population of about 120,000. The Turgut tribe of the Oirats migrated westward in the early 17th century, reaching the lower reaches of the Volga River. These people became the Kalmyks, some of whom returned to Xinjiang in 1771. Oirat is similar to Kalmyk and forms the western dialect of the Mongolian languages. It has its own written literature in its own characters, devised by the lama Zaya Pandi in 1648.

モンゴル国北西部のコブト地方と中国の新疆(しんきょう/シンチヤン)地方で話されている言語。蒙古語族(もうこごぞく)の一つで言語人口約12万。オイラート人のトルグート部は17世紀初め西方に移動し、ボルガ川下流に至った。これがカルムイク人で、その一部は1771年に新疆へ帰還した。オイラート語はカルムイク語と似ていて、蒙古語族の西部方言を形成する。ラマ僧ザヤ・パンディが1648年に案出した独自の文字による文語文献をもつ。
