Read traditional Mongolian in its vertical layout.
The course includes letters, Galik forms, combination groups, numerals and Cyrillic correspondences. Traditional Mongolian is presented top to bottom. Where the source supplies them, connected and positional forms help you compare how a character appears within a sequence.
