What's the difference between Manchu and Mongolian?

1, which distinguishes Manchu, mainly depends on whether there are circles or dots on the right side of the text.

If there are circles or dots, it is Manchu;

If there is no circle or dot, it is Mongolian, but sometimes a single word has no circle, so it is best to read a whole sentence or an article.

2. Linguistically, Mongolian and Manchu belong to the same language family, so there are many similarities, but the pronunciation of the languages is still very different, so they can't communicate.

3. Manchu and Mongolian are close. Nurhachi ordered Erdene and Gagai to create Manchu with reference to Mongolian initials. Manchu created in this era is pronounced by using Mongolian initials to spell Manchu, commonly known as acyclic Manchu or old Manchu.

4. Because of the difference between Manchu and Mongolian, the letters of the old Manchu can't distinguish all pronunciations, which may cause ambiguity of some words. Therefore, Huang taiji ordered the sea to improve the text and add dots to the right side of the text (mainly to distinguish k g h；; ; An e; o u； T d letter).

Extended data:

1, Manchu is written vertically from left to right. It can be divided into twelve prefixes according to syllables; In alphabetical order, there are 6 monosyllabic letters, 19 consonants, 2 vowels spell Chinese loanwords and 8 consonants spell foreign words.

2. The Sea uses some methods, such as adding a circle around the prefix, changing the shape of some prefixes and adding new prefixes, to express the original indistinguishable pronunciation, standardize the word form, improve the spelling method, and create a prefix specially used for spelling foreign words. The improved Manchu language has a relatively perfect alphabet system and orthography, which is obviously different from Mongolian letters, commonly known as Diandian Manchu.

3. Manchu mother tongue has 6 vowels and 19 consonants, while Chinese loanwords have 2 vowels and 8 consonants. Manchu language not only has the characteristics of adhesive language, but also uses function words as a means to express grammatical meaning. Nouns have no possessive form and verbs have no personal form. Master-slave complex sentences are relatively developed.

4. The current Mongolian alphabet consists of 29 letters. Five of them are vowels and 24 are consonants. Round-lipped vowels o, u and? Use a letter to represent * * * respectively. In most cases, the consonants D and T at the beginning of a word are written in one way, and the syllables in the word are written in another way. π and k are written in feminine words.
