 Apertium offers the ideal opportunity for me to contribute something meaningful to my Mongolian heritage. Founded on the principles of preserving culture and heritage through language, Apertium connects the realms of the ancient and modern through advances in machine translation platforms.
-I am currently double majoring in computer science and cognitive science as this is the perfect combination for my love of computer intelligence and my fascination of the human mind. I like to imagine every individual as a different galaxy with their own stars, planets and weird things. And I have always been curious about studying new languages and their structures because, to me, it always seems that the secret “bridge” spanning human intelligence lies there. By working with the Apertium’s machine translation platform, not only will I explore this passion of mine, but I will pursue my life purpose “to create and contribute something totally unique to this world”.

 I am interested in Apertium because I believe that preserving dying languages could potentially help us understand how the human brain categorizes objects (ways of viewing) and how the human mind takes and stores information. Through the study of the world's languages, we can potentially discover what is and isn't possible in a human language. This, in turn, tells us important things about the human mind. The fewer languages there are to study, the less we will be able to learn about the human mind and the full range of complexity and structures it can produce.

 The study of languages and literature, including one’s mother tongue, are part and parcel of what we mean by the full development of the human personality. Developing expertise in one’s mother tongue serves as “the passport to life” in the community in which one was born.
-The traditional Mongolian script, originating in the early 13th century by the order of Chinggis Khan, is one of the intellectual and cultural heritages of the Mongolian people. Most handwritten and printed books, administrative papers, family tree records, fairy tales, legends and Buddhist manuscripts were produced in the traditional Mongolian script until 1945 when Mongolia painfully and forcefully shifted to Russian Cyrillic alphabet under the Kremlin’s order. When in 1990, the democratic peaceful revolution overthrew socialist system, Mongolia eventually moved towards democratic present-day Mongolia and the writing of the new constitution. In September 1992, education in the Mongolian script began from the first year of primary school but unfortunately, most people felt it was too difficult to learn and hence not worthwhile after all.

-Today, although the Cyrillic script is used nationwide, all the government seals starting with the Head of State, the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers are all in the Mongolian script, which is a matter of pride. While visiting the Government Palace, I met with the Minister of Education and Science who informed us that a law on Mongolian script was passed in February 2015 under which the traditional Mongolian script would become the national script in 2025. In February 2015, the Mongolian Parliament passed a law on shifting back to the centuries-old national script by 2025. This call has made the whole nation rejoice and been met by the public with tremendous enthusiasm to learn and master the national script banned and purged since 1945 under communist rule.

-There are over 50,000 registered manuscripts and historical records written in traditional Mongolian script stored in the National Library of Mongolia. About 21,100 of them are handwritten documents. There are many more manuscripts and books in traditional Mongolian script stored in libraries of other countries such as China, Russia, and Germany. Despite the importance of keeping 1,000 years old historical materials in good conditions, the Mongolian environments for material storage are not satisfactory to keep historical records for a long period of time. I believe that the most efficient and effective way to keep and protect these invaluable historical materials while digitizing and creating a digital library is to make them publicly available and help the younger community to actively engage with them.

-Development of this language pair will tremendously contribute to the development, print, and distribution new textbooks and education documents, and to provide the necessary training. As the target materials have long been inaccessible to many and neglected under the communist rule, it is of great interest and importance lately to scholars, historians, researchers, university and secondary school students and to general public for unveiling the true history of the nation not only when it was a unitary sovereign socialist state which existed between 1924 and 1992, but the history from the early 13th century until today. Currently, the materials are kept in inadequate conditions and are in danger of being permanently lost.

-The script has stood the test of time henceforth and has served as a unifying factor for various Mongol speaking ethnic groups. The characteristic features of the Mongolian script include it being the only vertical script in human history that is written from left to right. All other vertical writing systems are written right to left (Wikipedia). It is an easy and speedy way of documenting what is spoken orally and has, over centuries, produced a great number of variations to be used for different purposes.

-Mongolian Cyrillic and Mongolian Script both have the same syntactic structure, so they have the exact structure in terms of sentence level and only vary within a word level. Also, once we have the '''mvf-khk''' pair it should not take much time to do khk-mvf pair.

-Also one of the biggest reasons I am interested in Apertium is that preserving dying language could potentially help us understand how the human brain can/ categorizes the objects (ways of viewing), how human mind takes or stores information received from the outer world. By studying what all of the world's languages have in common, we potentially can discover what is and isn't possible in a human language. This, in turn, tells us important things about the human mind. The fewer languages there are to study, the less we will be able to learn about the human mind and the full range of complexity and structures it can produce.
