(TBH, Traditional script are used rarely).
But using "Mongolian Traditional" and "Mongolian Cyrillic" labels sound
perfect to me. Should I make new file:
emacs/lisp/leim/quail/mongolian.el and put these 2 input methods?
or "Mongolian-cyrillic" still should belongs to other cyrillics
in emacs/lisp/leim/quail/cyrillic.el? WDYT?

Sure here: (Just in case, I also made it as attachment)
- Mongolia - Монгол - ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ 
- Mongolian language - Монгол хэл -  ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ ᠬᠡᠯᠡ
- Mongolian traditional scrips - Монгол бичиг - ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ ᠪᠢᠴᠢᠭ᠋

For the input-method this, I need to couple of days to figure out and
look for existing keyboard layout for traditional mongolian.
