Speaker figures are rounded estimates compiled from census data and linguistic surveys; counts for minority languages in China and Russia vary widely between sources, and ethnic population often exceeds the number of fluent speakers. Diaspora communities — notably in South Korea, the United States, Japan, the Czech Republic, and Canada — are not shown as separate points. Classification follows the common five-branch view (Mongolian proper, Oirat–Kalmyk, Buryat, Dagur, Shirongolic/Gansu–Qinghai), with Moghol as an isolated outlier.

Замхарч буй дуу хоолой
гэрэл бүр — нэгэн хэл

Дэлхийн ~7,000 амьд хэлний ойролцоогоор 10 тутмын 4 нь устах аюулд байна. Доорх гэрэлтэгч цэг бүр хэлээ авч үлдэхийн төлөө буй нэгэн олон нийт — дарж танилцаарай.

Дөч хоног тутамд ойролцоогоор нэг хэл дуугүй болж байна.
Аюулын зэрэглэлийг ЮНЕСКО-гийн атласын ангиллаар үзүүлэв — эмзэг → устах аюултай → ноцтой аюултай → устахын ирмэгт. Хэлтний тоо болон зэрэглэл нь ЮНЕСКО, Ethnologue болон тухайн олон нийтийн эх сурвалжид тулгуурласан ойролцоо мэдээлэл бөгөөд жилээс жилд өөрчлөгддөг. Устахын ирмэгт буй хэлнүүд лугшиж харагдана. Энэ зурагт устах аюултай ~3,000 хэлний зөвхөн төлөөллийг харуулав.
