• I always assumed Mongolian used something closer to chinese/japanese. That’s a wild looking language. Frankly, I don’t even know how to thank you for answering my question so concisely and completely. This will be a massive help!

        Mongolian uses either the Cyrillic Script or the traditional script, seems the traditional script is becoming more popular

        Glad to help!

        I found it useful as a little kind of mnemonic to call out the distinctive features of each language.

        The one major thing it misses is that Japanese uses some of the Chinese characters, so you have to check for the “stabby/loopy” characters mixed in to tell; and sometimes there aren’t any if the text is short.
