"the younger generation has gone over (in the last 20 years) to using regular Mongolian (the Inner Mongolian standard, or the Khorchin dialect)."

"still learnt consistently by almost all children as either the first language (in monolingual families) or as the community language (in families bilingual in Khamnigan Mongol and Khamnigan Evenki); although vigorous for the moment, the survival of Khamnigan Mongol in the long run is threatened by the increasing influx of Han Chinese settlers; both Chinese and Standard Mongolian are also present via the networks of radio and television as well as in the form of printed material"

"used as the community language at the oral level by all speakers, with Modern Written Mongolian as the literary language; grammatical and lexical interference from the latter is occasionally present in the speech of educated individuals"
