e/South Mongolian language

Information
has gloss	eng: South Mongolian is a proposed major dialect group within the taxonomy of the Mongolian language. It is assumed by most South Mongolian linguists and would be on the same level as the other three major dialect groups Khalkha ~ Mongolian, Buryat, Oirat. (Within this classificational scheme, Oirat usually includes Kalmyk, but a classification that assumes Kalmyk as a major dialect group of its own right also exists.) South Mongolian would consist of the dialects Chakhar (including the varieties spoken in Xilin Gol), Ordos, Baarin, Khorchin, Kharchin and (possibly) Alasha that originated from Oirat. Because South Mongolian would consist of all non-Buryat Mongolian varieties spoken in South Mongolia, this classification has been argued against by several linguists who hold that there is a dialect continuum between Khalkha and the South Mongolian varieties that rather favours grouping Chakhar, Ordos and Khalkha on the one hand and Khorchin and Kharchin on the other hand, or at least that "Mongolian proper" is an immediate member of Mongolian/Mongolic.
