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