HAS THE HÜIS TOLGOI INSCRIPTION BEEN DECIPHERED?

The Inscription of Hüis Tolgoi (HT) is a monolingual inscription in a Mongolian language[1] found in Bulgan Province, Mongolia in 1975 by D. Navaan. The 11-line text is written in vertical Brahmi script running right to left with horizontal marks separating words. The language of the inscription was unknown until the joint expedition of Alexander Vovin, Étienne de la Vaissière, Dieter Maue and Mehmet Ölmez to Mongolia in 2014 for closer imaging of the stele.
