On the same Subject, Manchu is also a synthetic language, with 5 or so declensions just like Latin along with being non-tonal. This made it a popular choice for Sinologists since it was easier to learn than Chinese, and there was a lot of Chinese books which were translated into Manchu during the Qing dynasty.
