Moghol (also known as Mogholi [ISO 639-3]) is a Mongolic language spoken in the region of Herat, Afghanistan, by a few members of the Hazara community.[1] In the 1970s, when the German scholar Michael Weiers did fieldwork on the language, few people spoke the language, most knew it passively and most were older than 40 years.
