| Description | Mongolian is specific by high number of Chinese, Tibetan and Indo-European loanwords beginning with l-. As the result of language contacts, they are not frequent in older stages of Mongolian and appear as an innovation in Buddhist manuscripts and in the context of international relations also in other Altaic languages. The paper 1) focused on selected cases with context or attestations, 2) analyzed the main stages of lexical influences according to the development of Buddhism, and 3) used this typological feature for lexical analyses of contact languages. |
