Wow. How many interpreters did they have to employ?

I'd imagine that they might've gotten the help of scholars within their borders when it came to translations. Not to forget that traders were also commonly multilingual.

Fun! It was surprising how different many of these languages are from modern languages, both in classification and range.

Could you consider Manchu for Jurchen? I know it's not the exact same thing, but Wikipedia says Manchu is mostly derived from Jurchen, and I'm guessing more people are familiar with the term Manchu. I could be wrong about this, but if you don't want to change it I'd at least appreciate hearing why.

Thanks! I was actually considering accepting Manchu for Jurchen, but I originally decided not to. It should accept it now though.
