Popolon added a comment to T180345: Add language code vi-hani for monolingual text and lexemes.

By 1174, Hán tự/Hanzi had become the official writing script of the Vietnamese courts, mainly used by administration and literati, and continued to serve this role until the mid-19th century.

It is in standard [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Category:ISO_15924:Hani ISO 15924] used on HTML pages, and it was still used officially until the mid of the 20th century. It is still used at least by scholars and some people that like to continue to use it in Vietnam.

Do you know at least how to use mvf now, because I still can't use it a standard way and still need to put an unsupported language tag?

Popolon added a comment to T215032: Add monolingual language code cmg.

cmg is often similar to mvf, but not sure it is always the case, as mvf is still a living language, cmg a medieval one.
I don't know what is missing, in wich system parti, but it can't be added in values for now.
It was created at time of Chinggis Khaan so could be anachronic to use mvf (mongolian of china) to words that are created/used in Mongolian empire even before they start to conquest China. I believe He conquest Beijing, but it was in Khitan empire at his time, that's, his several generation later son, Khubilai that make it capital of whole China (about 1270).

So I give the most basic example, I can add several case mn is wrongly used (but was the only not to far available option) to have the original name wrote in wikidata, for people of 13~15th century. The oldest know in this script is there: https://altaica.ru/e_dursgal.php probably not fare from the date of it's creation by Tata Tungkha (ᠲᠠᠲᠠᠲᠤᠩᠭ᠎ᠠ <= another exemple), after Chinggis Khan asked him to create a script for Mongolian, inspirited from this time uyghur script (today no more used, arabic in China and cyrillic in neighbourg are used instead).

I first created this because Mongolian in mongolian script was rejected in all it's codes, but it could be usefut to referring to this code for name of medieval Mongolian people, as the notion of mvf didn't exists at this time, this could avoid anachronisms.

I believe there is not so much difference. If I remember of everything after few years of try, some argued that any of them can't be used in Wikimedia because they are meta-languages, not languages,, because mvf, based on Chakhar/Chahar, and there are other languages after some definitions. People opposed said that's the rule to note create new meta-languages entries, only languages are accepted.

Just a little tip, on firefox, go to about:config, then search for the browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy option and change it from false to true, this is essential for non pure-english characters (aka any accent or other char from any other language using latin script or any other script, so the url) :

This is why for we need both cmg (where default is Mong), khk-Mong (where default today is Cyrl) and mvf (where default is Mong). If language can vary on cmg, there are some texts that are classified as cmg and is used (and needed as source) in Wikipedia.

Mong is for uiyghur-mongolian script. Classical mongolian, use this script, not soyombo or Phags-pa. Phags-pa was only used about 1 century. -Mong is probably not needed for this.

  • mn is used as language for standard mongolian in wikipedia (mn.wikipedia.org, tag in wikidata, so if it's not valide, this should be removed.
  • https://www.ethnologue.com/language/mvf for ethnologue, mvf, is only a geographical distinction, mvf is for china, mainly because in china they don't use cyrilic script for writting mongolian, but on some border cities with outer mongolia like Erenhot (chinese + mongolian script + cyrillic mongolian) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Erenhot_port.jpg On North-East of inner mongolia, (Manzhouli, and lot of cities in Hulunbuir, russian in cyrillic is used instead).

mn doesn't referer to mongolian as a macrolanguage but as a language, khalkha is the recognized standard dialect of the mongolian language. other mongolian languages are buriat (bua) or oirat (xal).

In my opinon, as a very beginner in mongolian language, every written words I seen in dictionaries (old one like Lessig or current one), seems to match with mvf one I seen on fr.wiktionary, wrote by a french in inner-Mongolia. (China), I learned with the pronunciation of Ulanbaatar (khalkha), as that's the only one available on methods in Europe, exchanged most with few friends from this city in France).

In language code, first part is language, second part is script (Mong|Han|Latn|Arab...) and the third the country, here CN (China), MN (Mongolia).... The traditional Mongolian script is mainly used in Inner-Mongolia (China), but is since few year recognized again as official language in (outer) Mongolia. it is also used in Buryatia and Kalmykia (where this should probably be respectively bua-Mong, xal-Mong, Mongolian sub-languages using uyghur-mongolian script).
