Calligraphy (from Greek: καλλιγραφία) is a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution of lettering with a pen, ink brush, or other writing instrument. A contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner”. Mongolian calligraphy is the technique of handwriting in the Classical Mongolian script, which comprises ninety letters connected vertically by continuous strokes to create words. The letters are formed from six main strokes, known as head, tooth, stem, stomach, bow and tail, respectively. Almost all civilizations that practice writing have developed an art around calligraphy. Certainly some are better known and developed than others. 
 

Among the well-known calligraphy are: Japanese calligraphy, Hebrew calligraphy and Arabic calligraphy. If we all have in mind images of Japanese or Arabic calligraphy, we hear less about the Mongolian calligraphy which nevertheless represents a very important part in the history of calligraphy. The great diversity of writings from which we can draw, reflects the psychology of peoples. They are the traces left by men as they travel, complex paths taken over time and the ups and downs of history, big or small.
 

Historically, the calligraphy was a sign of good education and high cultural level. Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, we might think that manual writing is obsolete but it is not. An expression of body and mind, calligraphy fascinates. Unlike cold and impersonal e-mails, it is the way to convey much more than information. The manual transcription, like a seismograph, reveals the human soul. If we put history aside for a moment, what do we hear today when we talk about calligraphy?
