Alchuka (Chinese: 阿勒楚喀; pinyin: Ālèchǔkā; Manchu: Alcuka, Alcuha), also Alchuka Manchu (Chinese: 阿勒楚喀满语) and the Alchuka dialect of Manchu (Chinese: 满语阿勒楚喀方言) 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).[1]

Alchuka has been documented in the 1980s by Mu Yejun (穆晔骏), in Mu (1981: 72;[3] 1985;[4] 1986a;[5] 1986b;[6] 1987;[7] 1988[8]). At the time, only very few elderly speakers were left.
