Location

The largest of the Tungusic peoples are the Manchu who are around 10,000,000 in number. They are originally from Northeast China (Manchuria), but since they conquered China in the 1600s, and especially during the 1900s, they have almost totally been assimilated into the main Han Chinese population of China, though are often still living in northern China. Evenks live in the Evenk Autonomous Okrug of Russia.
