Mongols have a Second Home: Inner Mongolia

What if youd' be living in a province that stretches from east to west about as much as the distance between London and Istanbul? Now, what if that province would barely represent 12% of the entire country? Such a place does exist and it's called the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia.

I would disagree with that very few people can use national script (that's how we call it in outer mongolia). Because it is taught in every school ( middle to high school/ 6 to 12). Even though we don't use it daily we can still write and read. Maybe older people that was school kids during USSR (not the entire time) might not know.

My granparents knows how to write it fluently and my mom knows it too. Unfortunately my dad doesn't. (Parents age gap 10 years) so older times around my grandparents they use to teach it, but not during my father school years. 10 years after they tried to change back to use national script daily. But couldn't because pf people like my dad. (Plus situation in the country was mess)

Anyways Idk since when but it is officially in the school program to learn national script. So I know it and younger school kids too

Your history description is wrong. Mongol was the noble class of Qing Dynasty. The area of Mongol was not allowed Han Chinese Get in until very late. So mongols was treated well in general in Qing, although Qing had a policy to limiting the development of people in Mongol area. The inner mongol area was the first area Manchu acquired, they are named and recoginzed by the mongols as the new Khan, before invading the land south of the great wall. The outer mongol, khalkha tribes, was beat by the west mongol tribes, and lost their land, they asked the help from Qing to fight back and regain their land. So the land of outer mongol, now mongolia was owned by Qing, the should be so by China, which is the inherited owner of the country and people. The outer mongol would not be a country if there were no soviet's help. It was intentionally separated from China. The inner mongol was a part of the integrated Chinese nation/people since the setup of Qing, they are treated as equal as other people in China, if not better, now and in history. Your description is arrogant and ignorant.

A long long time ago I was in Huhhot and Ordos, both in Inner Mongolia. Amazing places, amazing adventure.

[hoolidii]

There are also Republic of Buryatia and Khalmyks

[havencat]

quite surprising fact that Inner Mongolia has actually more Mongols then the Mongolia. Also only in Inner Mongolia they write with traditional writing

[Long_John_Silverr]

There are 3 Mongolia : 1. Mongolia. 2. Inner Mongolia 3. Mongolia that is now part of Siberia (the land just north of modern day Monglia that includies Lake Biakal).

Thank you for your introduction video. Although Inner Mongolia has a vast area, it doesn’t have much international influence. Many people mistake it for Mongolia and don’t know where Inner Mongolia is located. In fact, before the founding of New China, Inner Mongolia had already been established (in 1947). It’s also an undeniable fact that ethnic elementary, middle, and high schools in Inner Mongolia have been decreasing, mainly due to the smaller resident population compared to inland areas. You are all welcome to visit Inner Mongolia. The Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos is a crown tomb（tomb containing personal effects of the deceased）, corresponding to the Genghis Khan Temple in Ulanhot. Erenhot serves as a trade gateway connecting China, Mongolia, Russia, and Europe.

Not all Mongol nobles were killed. Some escaped and came back to Karakorum, our own capital.

[Takealookat]

Same like as Bangladesh ( a country) and West Bengal ( Indian province) . Both regions are Bengali land .

In the first 3 times, the people of Buria and Khalkh are close to 10 million. There are Khazar Mongolians in the middle of Halimag, Mongolia, Iran, and Iraq. How many people are there? I think that if we subtract more from them, how would our people be in harmony?

[winglaileung]

Inner Mongolian is a province of the People's Republic of CHINA, in which lots of Han people live there in addition to Mongolians. Mongolia, previously known as Outer Mongolia, is an independent nation.

Inner Mongol bichig is called "durwuljin bichig", it's from Tibetan. not Uyghur alphabet! Don't distort our history!

[zullkhagvasuren]

Your explanation for the term inner is wrong. All the ruling lords of both inner and outer mongolia’s were decendents of chingis khaan.
Some parts of todays inner Mongolian’s lords and kings collaborated with the manchurians in stablishing the Qing dynasty.
Qing dynasty started out as a federation of manchurians and later to be inner Mongolians.
So the term inner came to be

[DucaTech]

Different Mongol tribes - Buryat, Kalkha, Chahar, Hoqin mongols. There used to be Dzungar Mongols, but they got exterminated by Manchus and other Eastern/Northern Mongol tribes.

[EchoVortex]

6mill Mongols in south Mongolia aren’t all Mongols only 1 million of them are Mongolians

[tehh]

We say Uvur Mongol, literally means Southern Mongolia. Not InnerMongolia. There is no such as Outer Mongolia and InnerMongolia. Always been Mongolia (independent) and southern Mongolia.

[junsu]

I would have loved to hear you comment on how many ethnic Mongols In Inner Mongolia can still speak their language or write it!!! You that the CCP has been oppressing all that stuff recently just like they are doing with the Uyghurs (actually waaaay worse for the Uyghurs)

[ZorigoEnkhtur]

das ist keine innere Mongolei, sondern ist es die Südmongolei. Bitte nicht den chinesischen Begriff!

[Pazzystar]

ccp colonizer language in the comments. khalkha and south mongolians are what Canadians and Australians are to each other. the vocabulary almost same but meanings different also khalkha have more transliterations like телевизор ресторан машин its the same transliteration that japanese language has.
