Manchu language

Manchu (Manchu:, manju gisun) is an East Asian Tungusic language native to Manchuria. It is the traditional language of the Manchu ethnic group and one of the official languages of the Qing Dynasty. After a decline during the early 20th century, it experienced a linguistic revival through heavy government promotion and forced "Re-Manchurianization" policies. At least half of the population use Manchu as their first language, with the rest using it as a second or third language. Scholars called it a linguistic miracle that surpassed those of the revival of the Hebrew language, though they also noted that this was done through a totalitarian system.

Manchu should not be used for Manchukuoan, which is the Chinese language as used in Manchuria.
