The language the Manchu speak is not Mandarin, like other units native to China, but their own Manchu language (Manju Gisun), an unrelated, endangered language of Tungusic origin native to Manchuria and one of the official languages of the Qing dynasty.

History
โ | The Manchu people overthrew the Ming dynasty in the middle of the seventeenth century. They established the Ch'ing dynasty and tried to remain separate from the general populace of China. They had been a nomadic people once, riding and fighting from horseback, and tending crops and herds. The Ch'ing dynasty ruled China for about 300 years. Manchurian soldiers and warriors fought with recurve bows, swords, lances, halberds, and even their bare hands. They wore heavy robes that hung to the knee, allowing free movement on foot and horseback. | โ |
