  • is manchu part of chinese

  • @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.

  • was what he said after the incantation spoken in Manchu as well? cuz it sounded like a different language from the chant..?

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

  • 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.

  • why they change it to manchu

  • Jurchen was the original Manchu (Jurchen was what they were called before the Qing Dynasty).

  • is manchu call jurchen

  • Nice, I wish I could speak Manchu. I have to learn some day.

  • Wow.  I thought the language was pretty much extinct.

  • haha he's funny! seems humorous
