Ordos Mongolian (also Urdus; Mongolian Template:MongolUnicode; Chinese 鄂尔多斯 È'ěrduōsī) is a variety of Central Mongolic spoken in the Ordos City region in Inner Mongolia and historically by Ordos Mongols. It is alternatively classified as a language within the Mongolic language family or as a dialect of the standard Mongolian language.[2] Due to the research of Antoine Mostaert,[3] the development of this dialect can be traced back 100 years.
The Ordos vowel-phoneme system in word-initial syllables is similar to that of Chakhar Mongolian, the most notable difference being that it has [e] and [e:] instead of [ə] and [ə:].[4] In southern varieties, Script error: No such module "IPA". merged into Script error: No such module "IPA"., e.g. while you still say Script error: No such module "IPA". in Ejin Horo Banner, it has become Script error: No such module "IPA". in Uxin or the Otog Front Banner.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In contrast to the other dialects of Mongolian proper, it retains this distinction in all following syllables including in open word-final syllables, thus resembling the syllable and phoneme structure of Middle Mongolian more than any other Mongolian variety. E.g. MM Script error: No such module "IPA". Ordos Script error: No such module "IPA". Khalkha Script error: No such module "IPA". 'mouth', Ordos Script error: No such module "IPA". Khalkha Script error: No such module "IPA". (Script error: No such module "IPA".) 'short; short sheep's wool'.[5] Accordingly, it could never acquire palatalized consonant phonemes. Due to their persistent existence as short non-initial phonemes, Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA". have regressively assimilated *ø and *o, e.g. *Template:Not a typo > Script error: No such module "IPA". 'star', Script error: No such module "IPA". > Script error: No such module "IPA". 'offence', Script error: No such module "IPA". > Script error: No such module "IPA". 'power'. An analogous change took place for some sequences of *a and *u, e.g. *arasu > Script error: No such module "IPA"..[6]
Ordos retains a variant of the old comitative case and shares the innovated directive case.[7] The verb system is not well researched, but employs a notable innovated suffix, Template:Angbr, that does not seem to adhere to the common division into three Mongolic verb suffix classes.[8]
The lexicon of Ordos is that of a normal Mongolian dialect, with some Tibetan and Chinese loanwords.[9]
