Darkhad (also "Darkhat") is a dialect in-between Central Mongolian and Oirat[2] still variously seen as closer to Oirat[3] or as a dialect of Khalkha Mongolian with some Oirat features.[4] However, it seems to have substantially assimilated to the Khalkha dialect since it first was described by Sanžeev,[5] and some classificational differences seem to be due to what historical (or even ideal) state got classified. Ethnologue reports a population of 24,000 without providing a date.[1] Speakers live mainly in the west of Lake Khövsgöl in the sums Bayanzürkh, Ulaan-Uul and Rinchinlkhümbe in the Khövsgöl Province of Mongolia.[6]
