SMCLRD

Southern Mongolia Culture & Language Revitalization Department
Өвөр Монголын Соёл, Хэлний Сэргээн Хөгжүүлэх Газар · 南蒙古文化与语言复兴部

Mission

SMCLRD supports cultural heritage documentation and language revitalization through public resources and digital infrastructure designed for accurate reference and long-term preservation.

Educational and informational in nature. No claim of sovereignty or governmental authority.

Why this approach works

Effective language protection requires more than documentation. It requires daily usability. SMCLRD focuses on systems that allow people to learn, use, publish, and communicate in the language across generations.

  • Infrastructure-first: tools people depend on (text, dictionary, AI)
  • Usage-first: spaces where the language is used (social, news, search, chat)
  • Long-term: standards, maintenance, and measurable outcomes

From program to independent NGO

Today, SMCLRD operates as a program under SMRA. In the future, it may evolve into an independently registered cultural NGO or foundation to enable long-term funding, partnerships, and sustainable governance.

  • Now: execution-focused program
  • Next: independent cultural NGO / foundation
  • Always: open, accountable, outcomes-based work
