HOHHOT, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has started offering bilingual options on government websites at all levels of administration in the region.

The region has created Mongolian-language web pages covering all levels of government and local departments closely related to people's livelihood, according to the general office of the regional government.

Creation of the websites started in 2017. The websites are under unified management and include news links, service guidelines and external links to other government websites.

The launch of the websites is expected to facilitate Mongolian-speaking people's access to public services and help the government improve service quality, according to the office.

China has more than 6.5 million people of the Mongolian ethnic group, mainly in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Gansu, Xinjiang and Qinghai. Over 2 million people of the Mongolian ethnic group in China speak the language.
