Will I be able to speak to people in English?
The official and spoken language of the country
is Mongolian. Many people have Russian as their
second language as they were taught this at school.
An increasing number of people are now also speaking
English.
It is appreciated by locals if travelers learn
some basic Mongolian before their trip. A few
words are surprisingly easy to master and will
help tremendously in communicating with local
people. Spend a few dollars and minutes before
you go and purchase a copy of the Lonely Planet
Mongolian phrase book.
