The Mongols

The Mongols are a group of people from East Asia. Most of them live in Mongolia and parts of China, like Inner Mongolia. Some also live in Russia, such as in Buryatia and Kalmykia.

They speak the Mongolian language, which is used in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. The Mongols have a long and rich history. They were once part of the huge Mongol Empire, which was one of the largest empires ever.
