The Sound of the Para-Mongolic / Khitan language (Numbers, Words & Sample Text)

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.

Native to: Northeastern China, southeastern Mongolia, eastern Siberia
Region: Northern
Extinct: c. 1243 (Yelü Chucai, last person known who could speak and write Khitan)
Language family: Serbi–Mongolic (Para-Mongolic)

also known as Liao, is a now-extinct language once spoken in northeast Asia by the Khitan people (4th to 13th century). It was the official language of the Liao Empire (907–1125) and the Qara Khitai (1124–1218).

Khitan appears to have been related to the Mongolic languages; Juha Janhunen states, "The conception is gaining support that Khitan was a language in some respects radically different from the historically known Mongolic languages. If this view proves to be correct, Khitan is, indeed, best classified as a Para-Mongolic language."

Alexander Vovin (2017) argues that Khitan has several Koreanic loanwords. Since both of the Korean Goryeo dynasty and Khitan Liao dynasty claimed to be successors of Goguryeo, it is possible that the Koreanic words in Khitan were borrowed from the language of Goguryeo.
