Outer Mongolia is just Mongolia itself. It's called Outer to distinguish it from Inner Mongolia, which is part of China.

The official language of Mongolia is Khalkha Mongol, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet, but there are variety of different dialects across the country. In the more western parts of the country, where there is more ethnic diversity, primarily due to populations of ethnic Tuvans and Kazakhs, the Tuvan language and Kazakh language, among others, are also spoken. In the northern parts of the country, Russian language is frequently spoken among the Russian populations. Furthermore, the Mongolian government has worked to encourage the learning of English as a second language by having it replace the teaching of Russian in schools. Many older educated Mongols speak some German, as they studied in the former East Germany, while a few speak other European languages from the former Eastern Bloc.

Mongolian is the best-known member of the Mongolic language family, and the primary language of most of the residents of Mongolia. It is also spoken in some of the surrounding areas in provinces of China and Russia. The majority of speakers in Mongolia speak the Khalkha (or Halh) dialect, while those in China speak the Chahar, Oyirad, and Barghu-Buryat dialect groups.

In Inner Mongolia A.R. of PRC various ethnic languages & dialects not unrelated to Mongolian are spoken.

And in Timbuktu - as this is in Mali - where French, Bambara, Malinke, Soninke, Peul, Voltaic, Tuareg, Moor, & Songhai are spoken - two of these languages will prove useful in this city.

the lanuguage spoken in Mongolia is Khalkha Mongol but since Outer Mngolia is near Kazakhstan( I think)they may speak a language called Kazakh or they may speak a ;language tht is spoken in southern Siberia known as Tuvan. For both these languages about 200 000 people speak it for each language.

According to current scientific knowledge, human beings did not evolve in North or South America but instead arrived by sea or by a land bridge that formerly connected North America with Asia. Most (if not all) of those indigenous peoples descended from peoples living in Siberia. They entered North America by at least 12,000 years ago and diversified into hundreds of culturally distinct nations and tribes. The land masses that are now separated by vast bodies of water were once connected. It is during this time that the inhabitants of Siberia traveled across the Bering Strait to the Americas. Siberia is a place near Russia that has a very harsh and cold enviornment. It is very hard to live in a place like that. There are some people that still do live in Siberia and they live very hard lives.
