A Mongolian language database containing over 19 million words and phrases was developed by experts in May 2017 in an effort to protect ethnic culture and language. Based on cloud computing technology, the program was initiated in 2012 by Mengdong cloud computing center of Chifeng City and Inner Mongolia University. The database covers a wide range of content including lexicons, grammar and literature, and offers a Mongolian-Mandarin electronic dictionary to the public.
