As someone who loves learning and preserving cultures from around the world, it always saddens me when languages die out (as well as alphabets/scripts), so I truly hope with all my heart that the elders and the local provincial governments are able to invest time and money to teach the younger generation. It does piss me off that many times the younger generation (and I myself would be included as part of that) just doesn't care about learning the language of their ancestors, I wish they would see beyond the "practicality" of the language, its not just that, the way they SHOULD perceive it is about preserving a huge aspect of their cultural heritage. Even if that means the only people they can speak it with will be with others in their small community, why look at it like that, with time it expand as more numbers learn it, and if they don't learn it, then the language will die out forever. Besides, why not have the best of both worlds, be bi-lingual, in this case they would know Mandarin and Manchu, and there are many other cases of this around the world, the Irish would know Irish and English, the Berber communities would know the various Berber languages and Arabic, and many more. Bi-lingual instead of just one language, its a win-win.

[@WhyDidntIInventYT]

all is not lost. the Xibe language is a dialect of Manchu, and is healthy with many thousands of native speakers. that said, Manchu is still a valuable language given its rich history. it's especially important for historians who study the Qing dynasty, since many primary sources from that period are only in Manchu.

[@MrLantean]

Xibe language is classified by some linguists as a dialect of Manchu while others classified it as a sister language which is mutual intelligible with Manchu. Most likely it is a sister language rather than a dialect of Manchu.

My father is Manchurian, from Hulunbuir. My mother is from Mongolia, and i do experience a bit of both cultures. I learned basic words in Manchu when i was younger, like Sain no (Hello) and baniha (Thank you). It is quite easy since Manchurian and Mongolian are somewhat similar. I definitely notice that Mongolian culture is much more dominant and 'alive' than the Manchu language and culture, in basically everything, the festivals in Mongolia are more traditional than Manchu, which has basically assimilated into Han Chinese culture. I personally think that the next generation of Manchurians will be Han Chinese, Manchurians and its culture will be forgotten and eaten by the 'hungry chinese assimilation dragon'. And unfortunately the Manchu language isn't receiving any too little support, as Manchurians are seen very negatively in Mongolia and Mongolian culture, despite being similar. I hope that the language can be preserved, but these things die overtime, it is natural.

[@buddyblris3094]

Manchu people were always a small people group compared to Han chinese. When Qing emperors have to rule all of China, the Han chinese language and culture have influenced them. You may be able to ruel a country bigger than you but you can't overcome their culture.

The fact is Manchu was never a pure race. In the qing dynasty, there and manchu and han (also mongolian) Eight Banners (旗人), this is a military organisation that the manchu rule is based on. And these people all get influenced by Manchu traditions and became manchus. Thus Manchu people themselves are a mix of Manchus, Mongols and Han. Also most Han people in the North only moved there after the 19th century, they probably don't have any manchu ancesters.

​@Harishan Veerangan Mandarin and Manchu are totally different languages and not part of the same language family. Mandarin was a dialect spoken by everyone in the capital Beijing which is why Manchus gradually lost their ability to speak Manchu and just spoke Mandarin like everyone else in the city. Plus Mandarin was already the preferred dialect of the imperial court since the Ming, it's not related to Manchu at all.

So everyone who have Manchu blood (even mixed) should speak Manchu. Let's just Han Chinese speaks Mandarin, Manchu speaks Manchu. They can be bilingual to speak Manchu at home, school, neighborhood etc. And speak Mandarin only when talk to Han Chinese, talk to other ethnics and at mandarin language class at school.
