Manchu language song "bebu mudan" audio with subtitle

[CherryBlossom173]

When my cousin played me this, I thought it was Mandarin and got confused, haha :)

[skyislandia]

beautiful song.

[armstrongener]

Actually the modern Mandarin is influenced by the Manchu language

[YoyoFlamingo]

@MGLomerta Minus the ching-chong.

[supersyt1]

very good!! I love it~~

[JapaneseBLood]

She has a very obvious Chinese accent. :-/ I love her singing regardless. Atleast she tried (^-^)

[SenyeyChoi]

FREE MANCHURIA

[meulzari]

Does Manju language have same origin with Mongolian Language? Is there any research paper about it?

[Falfred]

Can someone please translate it please. So I can decipher it.

[FragMan69]

Manchu sounds like Mongolian.

[EastAsiandictator]

@FragMan69 I agree completely

[firefail1]

some of it sounds like mandarin but others sound like a south asian language..hindi?

[EastAsiandictator]

@firefail1 No Manchu sounds 100% Central Asian. Maybe, you haven't heard a lot of Central Asian languages.

[inno1980]

why haha jui? shall be hehe jui. we r matrilineal indeed.

[MGLomerta]

sounds like chinese

[malevolenceXXXensues]

@MGLomerta a little different if you ask me

[dsong2006]

baobei is baby in Mandarin too, now I see where it comes from

[yeebthooj]

kinda sounds like mongolian when the guy comes in.

[AMGaLAN108]

@yeebthooj

really

[milvipes]

@yeebthooj The guy is Mognolian, so he's interpreting the Manchurian language through Mongolian phonetics. If you want to hear real Manchu-Tungusic pronunciation (as opposed to Sinized or Mongolized version), try Xibe.

[dalantav]

The singer has very very strong chinese accent, i think. The manchu language should sound similar to turkish, if it is an altaic language.

What it is about in the song? I guess it is something about waking up from a sleep?

[kbl3000]

@dalantav

it is in the opposite direction which modern chinese -mandarin is strongly affected by manchu language. there is no reason manchurian should sound similar to turkish . as manchurian is from the tongus branch of altai language

[Mujangga]

Oh man, I heard a lot of phonetic assimilations, e.g. in the word feye: the first "e" is pronounced [ø] and the seconde one is pronounced [ε]

And the final /i/ in "mini" seems to have been deleted.

I hope I can get the hang of this. Manju bithe be niyelembi 和 manju gisun be donjimbi 不一样.

[ouoh1]

@Mujangga 'e' after 'ye' is an exception. Normally it's [ø], while after 'y', it's [ε].

[Mujangga]

@ouoh1:

I see. Baniha mini anda.

[doogiinoohuu]

baniha mini anda [manju]

gilaila minu anda [mong]

[doogiinoohuu]

haha i guess the song about a child, wants her baby sleep

[ManjuSu]

ajlunga, umesi baniha anda.

[bilguitei]

why is it quite similar to mongolian language?cus i can understand some words

[sjheiss]

@bilguitei Well, they are both Altaic languages. Mongolian is Mongolic, and Manchu Tungusic. ;)

[Unwillinglly]

아름다운 노래

[youwantmetoeatwhat]

its sad that the manchu language is dying out. I used to teach in a town called Nehe where the language is still quite active. Its great to see it still going!!

[consoleman09]

I just hope all Manchu can speak their own language.

[Kstroilia]

@consoleman09 Bainha!

[lewismurray1]

@consoleman09 dont we all, itd be a shame if it disappeared from society like Scottish Gaelic is currently

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@consoleman09 unfortunately, no... it's dying out... there are a few million ethnic manchu in china, and only a handful of elderly people can speak it, mostly, as well as some experts and enthusiasts... maybe the odd younger person, but i don't know. luckily, a dialect (or similar language to manchu, depending on how you look at it) of manchu exists that is much more spoken, by the Xibe people (40,000 speakers, about)... so, in a way, they're the modern keepers of the language... it's sad! :C

[eoppen]

Pretty song...English translation, please? I can't read simplified characters.

[On1y1Ch1na]

xibe language, very close to manchu langauge. in dongbei, the language is practically dead. but xibe language is very close to one of xinjiang's dialect, or is xibe and xinjiang language the same? anyways, people who want to study xibe language go to xinjiang to study.

[bitnaneunByul]
