Features: Manchu is an endangered language. The book "Manchu Studies" written by Comrade Wang Qingfeng was compiled based on the spoken Manchu language materials collected from field investigations in the early 1960s, which is highly valuable. Although Manchu is not a newly discovered language, due to various reasons, this valuable material was not included in the Language Briefing Series compiled in the 1980s. It is now published to make up for the omission at that time and to provide readers with living material of a language on the verge of extinction. This is also one of the main purposes of editing this book.
