In Hohhot, like me, many Mongolian Chinese are now totally sinanized, We can't speak Mongolian and unfimilar with the culture. there are only a few schools in the city offer full Mongolian-speaking classes. they can learn the Mongolian language in there. I got my undergraduate degree in Hohhot, some Mongolian international students are studying in the city. those kids got lots of money, and kind of enjoy themself on compus.

I heard people speaking Inner Mongolian there and it was slightly different from Mongolian we speak in independent Mongolia. It was like the difference between British English and American English. The accents are different; some word choices are different. :) It's impressive that the traditional Mongolian script is official in Inner Mongolia. We do learn the traditional script in secondary schools, but we don't learn it fluent enough to use it everyday since it's not the official alphabet.
