Scholar
In 1956, Rinchen defended his doctorate in linguistics at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest with a “Grammar of Written Mongolian”. From 1964 to 1967, he researched the language of Mongolian monuments, historical and modern phonology and script, etymology and morphology. In 1969, he published a grammar on Khamnigan, a Mongolic language. In 1979, the “Atlas of Mongolian ethnography and linguistics” that had been prepared under his guidance and was to become one of the most important works in Mongolian dialectology was published posthumously.
Rinchen also edited diverse materials on Mongolian Shamanism, historical linguistic documents and folklore.
