HSBC Tower is a 45 floor skyscraper in Canary Wharf, London. The building is the global headquarters of HSBC Holdings. It houses around 8,000 people, including staff and officials. The tower was designed by the architectural team Sir Norman Foster. Construction began in 1999 and was completed in 2002. There are 42 floors in the 200 meters (656 ft) tall tower, the third largest in the United Kingdom (along with the Citigroup Centre) after the neighboring One Canada Square (popularly known as the Canary Wharf Tower) and The Shard. In April 2007, it became the first building in Britain to be sold for more than £1 billion.  The tower was sold to the Spanish property company Metrovacesa. On December 5, 2008, HSBC Holdings took back ownership of its headquarters in Canary Wharf from Metrovacesa for £838 million, with a loss of £250 million for the Spanish company. Renovations. In early 2013, the tower underwent significant renovation work relating to the installation of new signage, replacing both the embedded lettering and hexagons within the glass panels across all four sides.  This work was carried out by contractors Tara Signs, who engineered and installed the new signage. The project was finished in late 2014.  The now current signage uses a specially formulated LED enhancing Polycarbonate, giving the appearance of black lettering during the day, and illuminated white during the night.  Lighting behind the tiles were also replaced from fluorescent tube lighting to LED, although rarely used.  As of 2018, the HSBC logo installed on the tower is now out-of-date, displaying the previously used font and positioning of the hexagon. It is assumed that the signage will not be updated in the near future due to the bank's intention to vacate the premises in 2027.

Old Mongol is the hypothetical ancestor language of the modern Mongolic languages. It is very close to the Mid Mongol, the language spoken at the time of Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire. Most features of modern Mongolic languages can thus be shown to descend from Middle Mongol. An exception would be the Common Mongolic pluritative voice suffix "-cAgA-" 'do together', which can be reconstructed from the modern languages but is not attested in Mid Mongol. According to Juha Janhunen in his book "The Mongolic Languages", "[b]y definition Old Mongol was spoken at a time when the differentiation in the present-day Mongolic languages had not yet begun", meaning that it was spoken before there were different Mongolic languages, so it can be concluded that all Mongolic languages descend from Old Mongol. Regarding the precise time period when Old Mongol was spoken, Janhunen writes: "The absolute dating of Old Mongol depends on when, exactly, the linguistic unity of its speakers ended", meaning Old Mongol evolved into other Mongolic languages; this event took place "only after the geographical dispersal of the ancient Mongols under Chinggis Khan", which was "not earlier than the thirteenth century." As a result, "[t]his means that the present-day differences between the Mongolic languages are likely to be the result of less than 800 years of divergent evolution."
