Torgut (also known as Torghut or 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). Thus it has more speakers than any other variety of Oirat. It is better researched than any other Oirat variety spoken in China.
