This article deals with Buryat chronicles as sources for the study of the history of the modern
Buryat language. The paper presents the most famous chronicles written by T. Toboev, V. Yumsunov,
Ts.-Zh. Sakharov, D.-Zh. Lombotserenov, etc. The author notes that within 50 years Buryats had to
change four types of visual communication: Old Mongolian writing, Vagindara writing, Latin and
Cyrillic and that the origin of the new script is associated with the formation of a new state. The paper
summarizes the results of the study of the language of the Buryat chronicles in the 19th century and
emphasizes that the spelling changes in the texts of the chronicles of the 19th century became norms of
the modern Buryat language. The linguistic background of Buryat chronicles is an intermediate written
version between the classic Mongolian written language and the spoken form of the Buryat language.
The author defines this written version as Old Mongolian Buryat language recension.
