{{Main|Mongolian Latin alphabet}}

On 1 February 1930, Mongolia officially adopted a Latin alphabet. On 25 March 1941, the decision was reversed. According to later official claims, the alphabet had turned out to have not been thought out well. It was said not to distinguish all the sounds of the Mongolian language, and was difficult to use. Using "y" as feminine "u" {{IPAslink|u}}, with additional feminine "o" ("ө") {{IPAslink|ɵ}} and with additional consonants "ç" for "ch" {{IPAslink|tʃ}}, "ş" for "sh" {{IPAslink|ʃ}} and ƶ for "zh" {{IPAslink|dʒ}}, it successfully served in printing books and newspapers. Many of the Latin letters (f, h, p, v) were even rarely used while q, w and x were completely excluded. The adoption of the Cyrillic script a short time later, almost simultaneously with most Soviet republics, suggests political reasons. In the advent of the Internet, people who use social networking services prefer typing in the Latin script for the ease of typing compared to the Cyrillic script, using the orthography introduced in 1939.<ref>{{cite web|title=Russian Influence in Mongolia is Declining|url=https://globalsecurityreview.com/decline-russian-influence-mongolia/|website=Global Security Review (March 2, 2019)|date=2 March 2019}}</ref>
