Reasons: Some of the letters just don't work with latin letters. For ex: "ch", "ts", "u", "v" and "b". Some people write Б as V AND Ү as V, so its not gonna work. Also its a personal struggle but I genuinely sometimes don't understand what my classmates are saying. If latin letters replace cryllic for me its gonna look horrible in formal settings.
Is the traditional Mongolian script that difficult to write in these current times? And can it not be modified in a way to better suit how the language is in its modern form. Kinda something like how simplified Chinese came to be to reduce the difficulties of traditional Chinese
Couple of misconceptions, simplified chinese is not easier to learn. It's actually harder because there's less strokes so all the characters look more similar. And Japan which only had a very limited simplification almost always had a much higher literacy rate than China and even during the Cold War Taiwan has always had higher literacy rate than the simplified Mainland. It's entirely a function of the school system and how much stuff there is to read. Traditional mongolian is just like English spelling, it makes no sense if you're learning it in an academic context but just like English if you're surrounded by it it's very easy to learn. So we don't need to simplify traditional script, we need to adopt it. Also if we simplified the traditional script then we'd lose our connection to Inner Mongols and history.
Agree about not simplifying so as to stay as close to or even the same as the original. Makes sense that Taiwan & HK? (I’m not Chinese myself lol) have this pride over mainland that they still use the original writing system
Well the topic was changing to latin script. The mongolian script is quite hard to learn and modernising/simplifying it would make it easier for the masses to adopt, but its also vertical, and all the programs and operating systems are horizontal, so this creates a technological challenge.
Haha I made a post on here very similar to your topic about Cyrillic in Mongolia… and this just my opinion as an English speaker and not even Mongolian , but I think it’d make the language look plain and boring. Cyrillic just has this aesthetic that plain old Latin alphabet can’t match, esp w English bare w/o accent markers like other languages that use Latin alphabet.
Latin is indeed a viable option instead of the traditional script. People who think we should change back to the traditional script is just pure brain dead.
It would look horrible in context
No, as someone who writes in latin letters frequently, just no.

All in all, its just weird. Don't do that.
It's gonna look horrible only because it is unusual.
Imagine reading a poem by Natsagdorj or Миний нутаг in Latin
Wish things were simple just like that, nah it's not happening ever.

Childish thoughts. Too expensive and what would it achieve? It would only alienate Russia away from us, and force us closer to China.

Might as well reinvent the wheel.
Миний хувьд Кирил үсэг нүдэнд дулаахан дотно харагддаг. Бас тэгээд яг яаж бичсэн тэрүүгээрээ уншигдана.

It's just Cyrillic.
Ngl, lowk it's a good idea. To people who saying it will look plain or horrible. It will look weird for some time but we'll get used to it.
