Manju is a +longdesc language of North East Asia, belonging to the Tungusic branch of +longdesc the Altaic languages. Though it is virtually not spoken anymore, +longdesc it survives in written form as Manju was the native language of +longdesc the rulers of the Qing dynasty (1644--1911) in China. Large +longdesc quantities of documents of the Imperial Archives survive, as well +longdesc as some of the finest dictionaries ever compiled in Asia, like the +longdesc Pentaglot, a dictionary comprising Manju, Tibetan, Mongolian, +longdesc Uighur and Chinese. ManjuTeX, developed on the basis of MonTeX, +longdesc provides all necessary characters for writing standard Manju as +longdesc well as transliterated Tibetan texts, for which purpose a number +longdesc of additional characters was created. The retransliteration (from +longdesc Latin input to Manju output) is completely realized in +longdesc TeX/Metafont so that no external preprocessor is required. +longdesc ManjuTeX can hence be used with both TeX and LaTeX2e though there +longdesc are a few more functions (notably vertical text) available for the +longdesc latter.
