Moghol (also known as Mogholi [ISO 639-3]) is a Mongolic language spoken in the region of Herat, Afghanistan, by a few members of the Hazara community.[2] In the 1970s, when the German scholar Michael Weiers did fieldwork on the language, few people spoke the language, most knew it passively and most were older than 40 years. It is probably extinct by now.
