ULAN BATOR, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia has officially begun using both the Cyrillic and traditional Mongolian scripts for legal papers and official documents, starting this year, local media reported on Thursday, citing the National Council of Language Policy.

The move is part of a national program aimed at promoting the traditional Mongolian script and enhancing its usage across the country.

The traditional Mongolian script, a writing system developed specifically for the Mongolian language, is distinct for its vertical orientation, setting it apart from most modern scripts.

The traditional script was the most widespread until the introduction of the Cyrillic script in the 1940s. Enditem
