Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) is an ethnically diverse region. Mongols, the focus of the collection, constitute only slightly more than 11 percent of the population of the IMAR. Once nomadic herders, a majority of Mongols are now farmers. They speak Mongolian, an Altaic language similar to Turkish and Manchu.
