What does Mongolian language sound like ?
This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by bittersweetLemon on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 and has 13 replies.
I am curious about how my native language sounds to foreigners. I have no idea how mongolian sounds to other foreign people, because it is my native language. I heard some people say mongolian sounds like Arabic.
Your opinion?

^^^ there's some very useful info about Mongolia for people who's going to travel to Mongolia. Western Mongolia? you should consider Khuvsgul, that's pretty nice and one of the most beautiful regions of Mongolia.

lots influence from Russian language
In fact Russia and Mongolia share a 3,500-kilometer border ..
Both cultures have significant effects on each other civilization and share a history
on technical terms yes, there're some russian words.

Turkish and Mongolian are both Altaic language, so yes. And even some words are similar.

Khuvsgul is one of the places I really want to visit!
Thanks so much for the link! Anywhere else you'd recommend?click to expand
I wanna visit Gobi Desert, since I've never been there before. The rest of the others are kinda similar to Khuvsgul or kinda boring with only prairie.

i would say the mongolians influenced the russians more than the other way around. Mongols sacked and pillaged and dominated Turkey and even Russia for a long time until they racially assimilated into the population.
There're Russian words in Mongolian language which has become mongolianized (? I don't know a proper english word to describe it), as well as there're mongolian words in Russian language which has become russianized.
Also I heard Kremlin is derived from a mongolian word Kherem( which means wall/castle).

Turkic maybe? Like Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
My uncle worked in Turkey for a couple of years.
He was home at some point and talking to a friend from there..it sounded exactly like that.

Even Kazakh names like Turganbay and Aidyn sound very Turkish.

It sounds like a mixture of...Orient meets Slavic.
I can definitely hear some Slavic influence/words/accent/syntax but stress on the first syllable sounds Asian to me. If I had to guess I'd say Chinese or Japanese/Korean. Although, I can hear how it can sound like Middle-Eastern languages too (Arabic, Turkish and Persian).
I think it is accurate to say that it sounds like a language which would originate from southern Transcaucasian republics. All of these countries which end in -STAN.
What threw me off was seeing the Cyrillic alphabet in the first song and then seeing Asian looking people in the second video. I wish I did not see it, but that I listened only. Then my opinion would be unbiased and more objective.
But needless to say,it is a beautiful language and very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing this!
You're welcome Gemcandle.
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan - yes, the central asian countries. Mongolia is culturally and linguistically Central Asian country.
I disagree that Mongolian sounds like chinese, japanese/korean. When I hear Chinese it sounds nothing like Mongolian. Japanese is a distinct language, Korean and Chinese sounds a bit similar to each other. Chinese has lot of nasal sounds, and they don't roll R's like mongolians, also mongolian has many throat sounds.

Nature is never boring!!click to expand
hmm yeah, but I would visit a place, where there are waterfall, river, lake, forest, or desert. Plains are boring imo.
