The Jurchenic languages (also known as the Manchuric languages) form a subgroup of Tungusic languages of northeastern China.[1]

Languages

[edit]

Bala, Alchuka, and Chinese Kyakala are extinct Jurchenic languages that were documented in the 1980s. They preserve many archaic features that are highly crucial for the historical-comparative study of Tungusic languages.[1]
