Based on the original compilation A Grammar of the Mongol Language by
Lampsangwangtan. It is noted that many expressions and terms in the original
Mongol could have been translated with other suitable terms, but the
expressions used in this translation were thought to be in keeping with the
original ideas and the general sense of the grammar itself. We acknowledge
our shortenings and regret that it is not done better.
The original of this grammar no doubt was written for Mongols who already knew
and spoke the language. Therefore a foreigner will find considerable that appears
lacking to him, buy yet such would be counted unnecessary to a Mongol who
already speaks the language, The grammatical reasoning and procedure in this
grammar are entirely from the Mongol standpoint and this is very necessary for a
person who wishes to understand Mongolian and be understood by the Mongols.
