yup. AFAIR Mongolian was basically undoable on computers until a few years ago. Now it's basically a solved problem (in theory) thanks to the latest researchs in the field. Again, this language is a (really) difficult one. The only programs usable to do mongolian that I know of is montex, and I think that there is a mongolian especific WP that people use in mongolia.
