The Mongolic languages are a group of thirteen languages spoken in Central Asia . Some linguists propose the grouping of Mongolic with Turkic (of which Turkish is a member) and Tungusic as Altaic Languages , but this hypothesis is not universally agreed upon.

The best-known member of this language family, Mongolian (in Cyrillic orthography as used in Mongolia , Монгол Хэл, and in the vertical Uygur-derived script as used in Inner Mongolia , China, '''''mongγol kele'''''), is the primary Language of most of the residents of Mongolia , and is spoken by around 5.7 million people in Mongolia, Russia, and Inner Mongolia.
