The other day I found a PDF copy of Möllendorff's 1892 textbook that I mentioned above. There's also a translation of the Book of Mark into Manchu.
There are some grammars (all in Russian, except Möllendorf's in English) and other stuff at this site, along with lots of other stuff on Altaic linguistics. I haven't even come close to being ready to study Manchu yet, but hopefully one day... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Does anyone know of any University departments in Taiwan that either teach Manchu or have
teachers who can read/translate written Manchu? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I believe 莊吉發 teaches graduate courses in the history department at NTNU, but I'm not sure. Anyway, he's the one whose name always comes up when you talk about Manchu in Taiwan.

I have no idea why somebody would make a book on Manchu in LATIN SCRIPT.
It's like making pimsleur course on some ancient language like Sumerian or Sanskrit. Manchu is still being spoken by some people, but I think most people would study it to read some old texts or something. Unless you are lucky enough to know one of the 60 remaining Manchu speakers. There are also Classical Japanese courses written in Latin script :S why? It's no longer spoken by anybody. The same goes for Latin - who cares about its pronuntiation? you are not going anybody to talk to in it, its only used for reading some old texts. On the other hand, I doubt myself I would ever read any text in Manchu, but still plan to learn it. anyway I think there are some books on Manchu in Chinese, I have few, including one school textbook in Xibe for children, still spoken natively by some people. unfortunately it's no more available to get it, and I think I have deleted it already. you may try to download it on Sina Share but this website is no longer working for me (downloading stops after some time with unfinished book). It's quite old so I think it may have expired copyright. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Here are some online Manchu ressources I came accross recently :
Manchu Studies Group Maintained by academics (Mark Elliott and others), it features (or will feature) blog articles, digitalization of Saksaha past issues, translation of the Old Manchu Chronicles, etc. Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Still a beta version but they have put online some Manchu books (Classical Chinese texts, lexicons, military texts and others from what I saw). You can download pdf files by clicking on "Werkzeugkasten". The files are really heavy (though not as big as what is advertised before downloading) and consequently of very high quality (that is in contrast with the BNF which provides poor pdf quality for most of the Manchu books they put online).
