Sorry, if the description was unclear.

I didn't invent this layout. Basically, this is the layout people get

when they change input-language on OS level (e.g. Windows and Linux).

I'm not sure where or when this was selected to be the Mongolian Keyboard Layout.

At the moment, I can only find out following resources:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_Cyrillic_alphabet#Keyboard_layout

- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdmon.html

- http://kbdlayout.info/KBDMON/

This layout is still used like 99% of the Mongolian Computers (I think).

When I was a kid, I had to learn this layout in order to type.

And now, using other cyrillic input such as cyrillic-translit just un-natural to me

(probably un-natural to others too).

From the technical side, I did copy the e-lisp code from various places.

To be honest, I still don't know what the code does or

what the code-structure is supposed to be .

Thank you for your contribution.

Is this keyboard layout already in use in some keyboards used for
typing Mongolian (and you just copied it in Emacs LEIM format), or did
you invent the layout yourself? In other words, where did you take
the idea of which letter to place on which key? I'm asking because
with the exception of 2 characters, the letters are all present in
other Cyrillic input methods, but the arrangement of the keys is
different, so I'd like to understand the reasons for the differences.
