Chinese minority hiding in Norman church (6)
I believe the answer is:
manchu
'chinese' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Old Chinese' mean 'manchu' so perhaps 'chinese' could also mean 'manchu')
'hiding in norman church' is the wordplay.
'hiding' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MANCHU' can be found hidden inside 'in norman church'.
'minority' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manchu that I've seen before include "Last Chinese imperial dynasty" , "Asian language" , "Member of Chinese family" , "Chinese dynasty overthrown in 1911" , "Old Chinese" .)
