@michaelzv8 No. Macnhus are not Chinese, ethnic Chinese are called "Han"... Though there's a bazzillion Han Chinese squatting on Manchuria that might think otherwise. They must have run out of room in their own country, so they had to take land from others. Manchus are like Mongols or Koreans, but they are losing their language and culture, their identity, because if assimilation, lack of representation in government, and sinification.
thanks... that's very unfortunate that the manchu language is dying out to mandarin. i really hope a revival occurs cuz it truly sounds like a beautiful language.

No, when he was speaking, it was Mandarin. There are very few people who can speak Manchu left.
