Torgut (Oirat: Торһд, romanized: Torhd, [torˈɣət]), also spelled Torghud, is a dialect of the Oirat language spoken in Xinjiang, in western Mongolia and in eastern Kalmykia (where it was the basis for Kalmyk, the literary standard language of that region[2]). Thus, it has more speakers than any other variety of Oirat.[3] It is better researched than any other Oirat variety spoken in China.[4]
