Alchuka (Chinese: 阿勒楚喀; pinyin: Ālèchǔkā; Manchu: Alcuka, Alcuha), also Alchuka Manchu (Chinese: 阿勒楚喀满语; pinyin: Ālèchǔkā Mǎnyǔ) and the Alchuka dialect of Manchu (Chinese: 满语阿勒楚喀方言; pinyin: Mǎnyǔ Ālèchǔkā fāngyán) is an extinct Tungusic language that was spoken near Harbin in Heilongjiang Province, northeastern China.

A detailed overview of Alchuka can be found in Hölzl (2020).[2]

Documentation

Alchuka has been documented in the 1980s by Mu Yejun (穆晔骏), in Mu (1981: 72;[4] 1985;[5] 1986a;[6] 1986b;[7] 1987;[8] 1988[9]). At the time, only very few elderly speakers were left.

Alchuka has also been discussed in Ikegami (1994,[10] 1999: 321–343[11]) and Hölzl (2017,[12] 2020[2]).
