Like most originally Central Asian languages such as Turkic and Mongolian, 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 (which in turn derives from Aramaic via Uyghur and Sogdian). Although Manchu does not have the kind of grammatical gender that many Indo- European languages do, some gendered words in Manchu are distinguished by different stem vowels, as in ama . Manchu is usually romanized according to the system devised by Paul Georg von M.
Its ancestor, Jurchen, used the Jurchen script, which is derived from the Khitan script, which in turn was derived from Han characters. There is no relation between the Jurchen script and the Manchu script. Chinese Characters can also be used to transliterate Manchu.
Thus the Manchu syllable am is expressed by the Chinese characters a- muh (8. Today, the opinion on whether it is alphabet or syllabic in nature is still split between different experts. In China, it is considered syllabic and Manchu is still taught in this manner. The alphabetic approach is used mainly by foreigners who want to learn the language. Studying Manchu script as a syllabary takes a longer time. Manchus when learning, instead of saying I, a- -- la; I, o- -- lo; & c., were taught at once to say la, lo, & c. Many more syllables than are contained in their syllabary might have been formed with their letters, but they were not accustomed to arrange them otherwise.
They made, for instance, no such use of the consonants I, m, n, and r, as westerners do; hence if the Manchu letters s, m, a, r, t, are joined in that order a Manchu would not able to pronounce them as English speaking people pronounce the word smart. Trying to preserve the Manchu identity, the imperial government instituted Manchu language classes and examinations for the bannermen, offering rewards to those who excelled in the language. Chinese classics and fiction were translated into Manchu, and a body of Manchu literature accumulated. Historical records report that as early as 1.
Qianlong Emperor was shocked to see a high Manchu official, Guo'ermin, not understand what the emperor was telling him in Manchu, despite coming from the Manchu stronghold of Shengjing (now Shenyang). The Jiaqing Emperor (reigned 1. Manchu. Especially at the beginning of the dynasty, some documents on sensitive political and military issues were submitted in Manchu but not in Chinese. A large number of Manchu documents remain in the archives, important for the study of Qing- era China. Today, written Manchu can still be seen on architecture inside the Forbidden City, whose historical signs are written in both Chinese and Manchu. Another limited use of the language was for voice commands in the Qing army, attested as late as 1.
Among his directives were to eliminate directly borrowed loanwords from Chinese and replace them with calque translations which were put into new Manchu dictionaries. This showed in the titles of Manchu translations of Chinese works during his reign which were direct translations contrasted with Manchu books translated during the Kangxi Emperor's reign which were Manchu transliterations of the Chinese characters. The Pentaglot was based on the Yuzhi Siti Qing Wenjian . Among them was de Moyriac de Mailla (1. In the late 1. 83. Georgy M. Rozov translated from the Manchu the History of the Jin (Jurchen) Dynasty.
He goes on that because the Manchu translations of Chinese classics and fiction were done by experts familiar with their original meaning and with how best to express it in Manchu, for instance, the Manchu translation of the Peiwen yunfu or the language of difficult Chinese novels. Because Manchu is not difficult to learn, it . As of 2. 00. 7, the last native speakers of the language were thought to be 1.
Sanjiazi (Manchu: . Modern Xibe is very close to Manchu, although there are a few slight differences in writing and pronunciation. Xibe is taught as a second language by the Ili Teachers' College (Yili Normal College) in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of northern Xinjiang. Occasional television broadcasts in Xibe language are made in Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, and about 1,3. Xibe language, Qapqal News, appear twice a week. In recent years, with the help of the governments in Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, many schools started to have Manchu classes.
It is taught there as a tool for reading Qing Dynasty archival documents. For the Northern Mandarin dialect spoken in Beijing, see Beijing dialect. Many of the Manchu words are now pronounced with some Chinese peculiarities of pronunciation, so k before i and e=ch', g before i and e=ch, h and s before i=hs, etc.
This means that the head- word of a phrase (e. Thus, adjectives and adjectival phrases always precede the noun they modify, and the arguments to the verb always precede the verb. As a result, Manchu sentence structure is subject.
The grammars of Japanese, Korean, and Turkish bear resemblance. Case- markers and postpositions can be used together, as in the following sentence: bi tere niyalma+i emgi gene+he. I that person+GEN with go+PASTI went with that person.
In this example, the postposition emgi, . For example, given the following two sentences (which have finite verbs): tere sargan boo ci tuci+kethat woman house ABL go. PAST. FINITEThat woman came out of the house. DAT go+PAST. FINITEThat woman went to town. These two sentences can be combined into a single sentence using converbs, which will relate the first action to the second.
For example,tere sargan boo ci tuci+fi, hoton de gene+hethat woman house ABL go. PAST. CONVERB, town DAT go+PAST. FINITEThat woman, having come out of the house, went to town.
ABL go. out+IMPERFECT. CONVERB, town DAT go+PAST. FINITEThat woman, coming out of the house, went to town. ABL go. out+CONCESSIVE. CONVERB, town DAT go+PAST.
FINITEThat woman, though she came out of the house, went to town. Manchu cases. The cases are marked by particles.
The particles do not obey the rule of vowel harmony, yet they are also not truly postpositions. Direct objects can sometimes also take the nominative. It is commonly felt that the marked accusative has a definite sense, like using a definite article in English. There are, however, sentences in Classical Manchu that use the accusative and the non- subject nominative for different thematic functions, e. In other cases, however, it seems the two forms can be used interchangeably. It is marked by the particle i or its allomorphni that is used after a word ending in - ng. For instance, abka- i cira (the emperor's countenance, literally .
In the modern spoken Manchu dialect of the Sibe (Xibe), this particle is normally used to mark the locative, but not the dative. In the modern spoken Manchu dialect of the Sibe (Xibe), this particle is used to mark the dative. This case is used infrequently in Classical Manchu. In the modern spoken Manchu dialect of the Sibe (Xibe), this particle is used to mark the ablative. Less used cases. From the root 'ca' (see cargi, coro, cashu- n, etc.) suffix - ca/- ce/- cotranslative . This resulted in almost all native words ending in a vowel. In some words, there were vowels that were separated by consonant clusters, as in the words ilha ('flower') and abka ('heaven'); however, in most words, the vowels were separated from one another by only single consonants.
This open syllable structure might not have been found in all varieties of spoken Manchu, but it was certainly found in the southern dialect that became the basis for the written language. It is also apparent that the open- syllable tendency of the Manchu language had been growing ever stronger for the several hundred years since written records of Manchu were first produced: consonant clusters that had appeared in older forms, such as abka and abtara- mbi ('to yell'), were gradually simplified, and the words began to be written as. The consonant /p/ was rare and found mostly in loanwords and onomatopoeiae, such as pak pik ('pow pow'). Historically, many ps appear to have occurred in ancient forms of the language; however, they had been changed over time to f. The palatal nasal consonant, .
This suggests that the phonological contrast between the so- called voiced series (b, d, g, j) and the voiceless series (p, t, k, c) in Manchu as it was spoken during the early modern era was actually one of aspiration and/or tenseness, as in Mandarin. The /s/ of the Manchu language is peculiar in that many speakers habitually affricated it, pronouncing it like . They were distinguished in spelling, but this may have been merely a carryover from earlier alphabets. The lone front vowel (e, but generally pronounced like Mandarin . The relatively rare vowel transcribed .
Much disputation exists over the exact pronunciation of . Erich Hauer, a German sinologist and Manchurist, proposes that it was pronounced as a front rounded vowel initially, but a back unrounded vowel medially. There were special symbols used to represent the vowels of Chinese loanwords.
These sounds are believed to have been pronounced as such, as they never occurred in native words. Among these, was the symbol for the high unrounded vowel (customarily romanized with a y) found in words such as sy (Buddhist temple) and Sycuwan (Sichuan).
