Edmund Roberts' report
[edit]Edmund Roberts (diplomat) wrote the following in his Embassy to the Eastern Courts of Cochin-China, Siam, and Muscat: In the U.S Peacock ... During the Years 1832-3-4
...Previous to this event, in the year 1599, he appointed persons to form an alphabet for the use of his people, for, up to that period, the Mantchous possessed no written language. The alphabet which they adopted, was derived from, and improved upon the Ouigour and Mongol alphabets, the Mongol being a modification of the Ouigour, a derivative of the Syriac.

- Thanks for the reference, however this quote relates to the Manchu alphabet, which is not relevant to this article. BabelStone (talk) 21:05, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. Should it be moved to the other two, and all three linked by See also's? --Pawyilee (talk) 13:39, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
