Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: Manchu was one of the official languages of the Qing empire (1644-1912) and was used, at least in official documents, until the early 20th century. Long neglected as a tool for Qing studies, it is now recognized, that around one fifth (David Porter) of the imperial Qing archives consists of Manchu language documents; studying these documents then provides fresh perspectives on a variety of topics in Qing history, literature and religion. The aim of this class is to introduce to basics of the Manchu language, investigate the Manchu script, Manchu grammar, the most important dictionaries, the history of the Manchu language in Europe and some documents.
