The '''[[Mongolian]]s''' live mostly in the [[Inner Mongolia]] Autonomous Region, with the rest residing in [[Liaoning]], [[Jilin]], [[Heilongjiang]], [[Xinjiang]], [[Qinghai]], [[Gansu]], [[Ningxia]],[[Hebei]], [[Henan]], [[Sichuan]],[[Yunnan]] and [[Beijing]]. Having their own spoken and written language, which belongs to the Mongolian group of the [[Altaic]] language family, the Mongolians use three dialects: Inner Mongolian, Barag-Buryat and Uirad. The Mongolian script was created in the early 13th century on the basis of the script of [[Huihu]] or ancient Uygur, which was revised and developed a century later into the form used to this day.

The largest Mongolian area, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with its capital at Hohhot, was founded on May 1, 1947, as the earliest such establishment in China. This vast and rich expanse of land is inhabited by 23.84 million people, of whom over 3.57 million are Mongolians and the rest are Hans, [[Hui]]s, [[Manchu]]s, [[Daur]]s, [[Ewenki]]s, [[Oroqen]]s and [[Korean]]s.
