Mongolia
Mongolian has about 5 million native speakers. Of these, about half live in Mongolia and the other half live in the Inner Mongolia region in China.
The Mongolian language is quite unique, but over the centuries it has adopted a significant number of words from Tibetan, Russian, Chinese, English and Sanskrit.
Standard Mongolian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, while the Mongolian dialect in China uses the traditional Mongolian script.
An interesting feature of the Mongolian language is that there are hundreds of words for different types of horses.

Content: 1300 words (basic course), 5200 words (complete course), complete grammar, verb conjugations, exercises

The Mongolian Basic Course contains a vocabulary trainer for the basic Mongolian vocabulary (1300 words) with native-speaker audio, as well as grammar explanations and various exercises.
The vocabulary trainer works with a long-term memory method, in which the new vocabulary is checked at increasing intervals.
You can choose between text input, multiple choice or simply confirming whether you knew a word or not.
The exercises include text comprehension questions, filling in word gaps or just vocabulary lists where one side is covered.
The basic course corresponds to the official language levels A1 and A2 (explanation of CEFR language levels).
The Complete Course contains:

The uTalk app teaches about 2000 Mongolian words and focuses primarily on playful exercises. There are several exercises to choose from:
The interface of the app is well made and is similar to other apps like Babbel, Duolingo or Mondly.
Summary: Getting access to 160 languages is impressive and the scope (2000 words with native speaker audio and exercises) is also solid.

The Ling language learning app offers lessons for 60 languages and is quite similar to Duolingo or Babbel, which do not offer Mongolian courses.
Ling uses "gamified learning", which means learning the Mongolian language in a playful way. There are mini-games, levels, experience points, as well as tests and exercises at the end of each lesson.
The vocabulary covers about 1000 Mongolian words and phrases, all with native speaker audio and pictures. Grammar is not included.
This app offers a test to determine your proficiency level in Mongolian.
Summary: Good ideas that make learning Mongolian more fun.

Prices: $17 (1 month and 1 language), $31 (1 month and all 64 languages)
Overall Value:
The Glossika app is for people who already have some basic proficiency in Mongolian or already know a similar language.
The app has an entry test to determine your Mongolian proficiency level. You can start from A1 to B2 (beginners and intermediate).
Glossika works with whole sentences instead of single Mongolian words. You can choose which topics you want to learn.
This app has intentionally no "gamification". The only exercises are reading, listening, typing the sentences and speaking into the microphone.
There are also no grammar explanations. You are supposed to understand Mongolian grammar from the context, like in Rosetta Stone.
You can try the complete app with all 64 languages for 7 days for free (without providing payment information).
Summary: Effective exercises for advanced learners, but somewhat higher price and not much variety.

Content: Mongolian video lessons and quiz tests
Prices: $12.99 (one course), $24.99 (4-7 courses bundle)
Overall Value: 
Cudoo is a kind of online university that offers courses with certificates on different topics.
This includes language courses for 160 languages. These are all beginner courses (CEFR level A1 and A2).
For each language there are 1-10 courses and each course has 20-40 lessons.
The lessons each include a short video with new vocabulary and there are short quiz questions below the video.
Summary: The videos are well made, so especially for smaller languages these courses are a good start.

Content: Mongolian lessons and vocabulary trainer with native speaker audio, grammar
Prices: $22 (1 month), $70 (12 months), $255 (unlimited)
Overall Value:
With the Memrise App you can learn over 90 languages.
This includes even very small languages - however, in such cases the language courses are often limited to just a few lessons.
One special feature of the Memrise learning app is the large number of lessons created by users (native speakers).
The quality of these lessons varies greatly though. For example, only the basic forms of verbs are usually taught, without the conjugations. Some languages also do not have an audio recording of the words at all.
Another good idea of the Memrise app are the user-generated tips and mnemonics for each word to help you memorize them.
Summary: User-generated lessons are a good idea. In practice, the quality of the lessons leaves a lot be desired.
Content: Mongolian lessons and exercises with voice output and speech recognition
Prices: $9.99 (1 month), $100 (12 months), $200 (unlimited), $400 (163 languages)
Overall Value:
The Bluebird App offers 146 source languages and 163 target languages and dialects, including Mongolian.
The Mongolian language course in this app includes the following:
The Bluebird App does not have grammar lessons. Instead, you are supposed to understand the grammar "implicitly" from the examples, same as in Rosetta Stone.
Summary: The video lessons and the interface require some getting used to, but the exercises are quite varied. Especially for smaller languages, this app is an acceptable alternative.
Content: Mongolian lessons and exercises
Prices: $19.99 (1 month), $40 (3 months), $60 (6 months)
Overall Value: 
The Lingo Play App offers language courses for 70 languages. It offers "gamified learning", which means learning vocabulary in a playful way.
Each Mongolian lesson offers the following exercises:
There is also a multiplayer mode and competitions where you can test your Mongolian skills against other people.
Summary: Overpriced Mongolian course that does offer some good exercises, but is not better than other similar apps.
Suitable for: Beginners and intermediate learners, travel vocabulary, business
Content: Mongolian vocabulary lessons and exercises
Prices: $35 (Level 1), $55 (Level 1-3)
Overall Value:
The Instant Immersion Mongolian learning software is available for download only for PCs and Macs.
According to the vendor, this software is supposed to be "as good as Rosetta Stone", but much cheaper because less money is spent on advertising.
Unfortunately, this promise cannot hold.
The software interface is chaotic and all three "language levels" offer a chaotic mix of easy and difficult words.
Essentially, this software only introduces new Mongolian vocabulary with native speaker audio and pictures, and then there are a few exercises.
Mongolian grammar is not included at all.
Summary: Limited scope and bad interface. At least it is relatively cheap and there is a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Content: Mongolian lessons with native speaker audio and speech recognition, grammar
Prices: $35 (second language for free)
Overall Value: 
The Linguashop educational software ("TeachMe") is available for over 90 languages, including Mongolian. It also includes an audio CD.
The native speaker audio and speech recognition are relatively good.
However, the interface of the learning software is quite chaotic and there are no exercises — only lessons where new vocabulary is presented.
It is also unclear how many words are included in this Mongolian learning program. There is no information about this on the website.
Some grammar lessons are included — however, these are basically just images with short texts.
Summary: Poor quality for a relatively low price. You get language courses for two languages when you buy, one as a free bonus.
Colanguage: Find Skype teachers
Overall Value:
At Colanguage you can arrange face-to-face language lessons online via Skype with language teachers around the world (from $5-10 per hour).
In addition to using apps, it is definitely a good idea to also practice with native speakers in order to learn Mongolian properly.
Tandem: Find a language exchange partner
Overall Value:
Instead of hiring teachers, you can also find people who are interested in a free language exchange online via Skype.
It is completely free of charge, but you have to act as a language teacher for the other person half of the time.
