+shortdesc Manju language support.
+longdesc ManjuTeX provides Manju for the TeX/LaTeX community. 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. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
