Teaching

Under the heading "Teaching" a certain amount of repetition is appearing.

IMHO the sentence: "However this was in 1849, and more research should be done on the current teaching methods used in the PRC." looks really like trolling from some PRC nationalist or something and should be removed. It is stating the obvious and is not counterfactual to anything being said before. The paragraph already clearly states the date of the previous text that is even a quote, so it is really already very clear that an old text is being quoted and that it might not be actual. The best would be to remove the sentence and expand with a section/paragraph on how the language is thought now in PRC considering that it is a *second language* teaching and not anymore a first language like in 1849. This naturally makes the modern method approach obviously different. Gabriele Dini Ciacci (talk) 10:49, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory info on vowels -- does the e in Manchu romanization correspond to a schwa or not?

In the vowels section on the language's phonology Manchu vowel inventory is seen as having a schwa but no [e] sound, implying that the e in Manchu Romanization corresponds to a schwa, but examples of Manchu words shown later are shown with the corresponding IPA value [e]. Which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.215.194.148 (talk) 06:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mispelling(?)s of Accusative

in Manchu language#Pronouns , table 1 and 2 spell "accusative" as "Ackusative" and "Akkusative" respectively. I think these are mispellings, but i dont want to edit them if they are simply alternate forms of "Accusative". Hamncheese95 (talk) 21:54, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For now, i will edit them to accusative, if these are actual spellings please let me know, and reedit them. Hamncheese95 (talk) 21:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are not alternative spellings, you did the right thing. Thanks, good job! Remsense诉 21:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
