Dong Bei, means Northern Province in Chinese. The region was populated by Koreans and Manchurians. ( Korean-Manchurians). Altaic people: Koreans, Mongolians, Manchus. ( Not Han-People/ Han-Chinese). You must understand Greatwall Border line that separates China ( cultural sphere) to Korean-Manchu ( Altaic cultural sphere). - —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) Korean1Professor (talk • contribs)

Thank you for your comments on Talk:North East (China). please feel free to plunge forward and edit the North East (China) article to read how you think it should. Please try to understand that some of our naming conventions have been a bit arbitrary for China, because there simply was no other formal English name for North East China at the time someone created the article. If you think the name is wrong, please discuss it.

Needs de-duplication?

The introduction and the understand section currently have essentially the same history repeated twice, though in different words and with some differences of detail and emphasis. I think it needs some cleanup and redundancy removal but, having written parts of both sections at different times, I do not want to tackle this myself. Any volunteers?

I took a crack at it. Other opinions and contributions are still needed. Pashley (talk) 20:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Status of Manchu language?

We currently have:

There are substantial groups whose first language is ... Manchu ...

Sadly, Manchu is now a moribund language, and is only spoken natively by a few elderly people in isolated villages,

Which sentence is correct? Can someone clarify the text? Pashley (talk) 07:23, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

By all accounts Manchu has very few native speakers remaining – I've adjusted the paragraph accordingly. —Granger (talk · contribs) 01:35, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Korean names of Chinese cities with large ethnic Korean communities

Swept in from the pub

I wonder if we should only list the local Chinese-Korean name, or if we should also list the South Korean name. Usually, the ethnic Koreans in China will use the Sino-Korean readings of the city's Chinese name, while South Koreans will use a transliteration of the Mandarin name, so the two Korean names can actually be quite different from each other. Yanji is a particular example, where the local Chinese-Koreans call the city Yeon-gil, while South Koreans call the city Yen-ji. The dog2 (talk) 20:19, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

The local names are the Chinese name and Chinese-Korean name, so those names should be used. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:18, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree with Ikan Kekek. —Granger (talk · contribs) 21:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
