Darkhad (also Darkhat) is a dialect in-between Central Mongolian and Oirat still variously seen as closer to Oirat or as a dialect of Khalkha Mongolian with some Oirat features. However it seems to have substantially assimilated to the Khalkha dialect since it first was described by Sanžeev and some classificational differences seem to be due to what historical (or even ideal) state got classified.
