The article discusses the adaptation of Chinese loan words in the language of the Shenehen Buryats of Inner Mongolia of China. The interaction of any contacting languages leads to interference and collision of two language systems and occurs at three levels: phonetic, lexical, and grammatical. Lexical interference is not as constrained as phonetic and grammatical, and when languages contact, the most significant changes are observed in this area.
