What they call "Mongol script" is actually not the
classical Mongolian script (written vertically) but
Cyrillic, which many Europeans call Russian though it
is really Bulgarian. This was introduced for the
Mongolian language in Outer Mongolia when under Soviet
domination, and I think it is still used there now
when it's independent. In Inner Mongolia, which is
politically a part of China, I don't think it has ever
been used.
