WPChina
I just noticed that the article on the "Classical Mongolian language‎" was tagged as a stub for the WPCHINA and deleted the tag. While such topics as Mongolian language and Mongolian script are clearly relevant to China, Classical Mongolian is not the Mongolian language that was used as an administrative language of the Manchu empire, and while it was used by allies of the Manchu, I do not think that much of a relation to Chinese culture or politics is peculiar to this language itself nor to modern China. Including it into the WPChina would be too much in line with an all-including, ahistoric view of Chinese history. If the article was to be included, I'd prefer to have the link that supposedly relates this language to "China" explicitly stated in the text of the article.

Is Classical Mongolian extinct?
According to Juhanen: "After the separation of the literary languages of Outer and Inner Mongolia, Written Mongol, as still used on the Chinese side, has continued to develop towards a new level of standardization, which may also be termed Modern Written Mongol... Nevertheless, there is no question that Written Mongol continues to be a single and remarkably uniform language which opens up the entire depth and breadth of both modern and classical culture to its users." so it doesn't sound like it's extinct, but more that it changed into Modern Written Mongolian. I'm not sure how to explain that though. Also, I'd love to gather and add some more information about Classical Mongolian to this page. I found quite a few resources here - https://www.reddit.com/r/asklinguistics/comments/fgg8pb/why_do_we_know_so_little_about_classical/ - and would love to have some help :D CcfUk2018 (talk) 23:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
