Manchu is an endangered Tungusic language spoken in Northeast China; it used to be the native language of the Manchu, though
now most Manchus speak Mandarin Chinese and there are fewer than 70 native and semi-speakers of Manchu out of a total of nearly
10 million ethnic Manchus. Although the Xibe language, with 40,000 speakers, is in almost every respect identical to Manchu,
Xibe speakers, who live in far western Xinjiang, are ethnically distinct from Manchus. Manchu is an agglutinative language
that demonstrates limited vowel harmony. It has been demonstrated that it is derived mainly from the Jurchen language though
there are many loan words from Mongolian and Chinese. Its script is vertically written and taken from the Mongolian alphabet.
Although Manchu does not have the kind of grammatical gender that many Indo-European languages do, some gender-related words
in Manchu are distinguished by different stem vowels; in such cases, as are sometimes used to indicate masculine ones, as
in ama father, and es are sometimes used to indicate feminine ones, as in eme mother. |
