Buryat is a Mongolic language spoken by about 400,000 people mainly in the Republic of Buryatia, Ust-Ordyn and Aginsk autonomic districts of the Russian Federation, and also in northern Mongolia and northwestern China.
A method of writing Buryat using the Cyrillic alphabet was created after the 1917 Russian Revolution. Before that, the Buryats wrote in Old Mongolian. In 1931 a version of the Latin alphabet was adopted to write Buryat, then in 1939 the Cyrillic alphabet was re-introduced.

Эгсэ-континентальна уларилтай, Ази тyбиин дундахи уула майлатай газарта, хyйтэн yбэл ба халуун зун болодог. Хуурай агаартай хадаа yбэлэй хyйтэниие бараг тэсэхээр байдаг. Зунай халуун yдэрэй тэндэ шанга болодог, гэбэшье yдэшэ yглooндoo hэрюун зохид байдаг. Намарынь ута, Байгал далайн уhанай хyрэтэр, энэ yедэ Буряад орондо агаарай температура ороной европодохи нютагуудhаа дээшэ байхаяа hанадаг. Сибириин хабар март hарын hyyл багаар мэдэгдэдэг, апрелиин hyyл багаар тyрyyшын ногоон бултайдаг.
