Classical Mongolian is an extinct Mongolic language formerly used in Mongolia, China, and Russia. It is a standardized written language used in a number of written texts such as the translation of the Kanjur and Tanjur and several chronicles roughly between 1700 and 1900.[1] The term is sometimes also used to refer to any language documents in Mongolian script that are neither Pre-classical nor modern Mongolian.[2]
