My Mongolian name is Nargil, I prefer to use this name in academic works.
My PhD project is descriotion of morphosyntax and areal study on a nearly endangered language Solon (Northern Tungusic).Solon is spoken in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolian (China). Based on the 2020 census data and my soliolinguistic analysis there are around 19,000 Solon speakers, however the language proficiency of Solon among younger generations are declining drastically. Solon is stronglly influenced by Mongolian, especially the Hailar Solon (spoken in Ewenke Autonomous banner region).This contact-induced studies would be one part of my PhD project. Additionally, as a native Mongolian, I personally interested in the studies on Mongoic languages.
