ManchuDict

This is a simple dictionary in Manchu, Chinese and English. All the Manchu words are rewritten into Latin characters by Möllendorff method. Many thanks to Ajiu for his dictionary source.

Manchu, a critically endangered language according to www.endangeredlanguages.com powered by Google. This language used to be the official language of China a hundred years ago but now it is in a very dangerous situation. There are only about 20 native speakers worldwide,and all of them are senior citizens. Actually the Manchu ethnic population in China is over ten million, but due to many reasons like education and environment, all of them speak Chinese as mother language. There are some semi speakers of Manchu in China, they are those Manchu people who care about their own culture. The speaker number of this language is decreasing very rapidly, but it is good to see that people are putting their efforts into saving Manchu culture and language. This software is the one that helps new generation Manchu to learn their own language. Thank you very much for your support!

Fun facts about Manchu: The 9th Infantry Regiment, United States Army is awarded the honorary title of 'Manchu' due to their contribution in China Relief Expedition (It was Qing Dynasty in China at that time, also known as Manchu Empire).
