The Mongolian Latin script was officially adopted in Mongolia on February 1, 1941. Only two months later, on March 25 the decision was reversed again. According to later official claims the system chosen had turned out not to have been thought out well. It was said not to cover all the sounds of the Mongolian language, and to be difficult to use. However, those seem to have been pretexts rather than the true reasons.

  • The Mongolian Latin script was officially adopted in Mongolia on February 1, 1941. Only two months later, on March 25 the decision was reversed again. According to later official claims the system chosen had turned out not to have been thought out well. It was said not to cover all the sounds of the Mongolian language, and to be difficult to use. However, those seem to have been pretexts rather than the true reasons. The adoption of the Cyrillic alphabet a short time later, almost simultaneously with most Soviet republics, rather suggests political reasons.
  • L'alfabeto mongolo latino fu adottato ufficialmente in Mongolia il 1º febbraio 1941. Solamente due mesi dopo, il 25 marzo la decisione fu revocata. Il pretesto era che non era adeguato a coprire tutti i suoni della lingua mongola, ma le ragioni erano probabilmente politiche. Poco tempo dopo fu adottato l'alfabeto cirillico in maniera quasi simultanea con buona parte delle repubbliche sovietiche.
