Why is Manchu called Manchu now? Why do they no longer use their own language and writing? Has it been sinicized?

historically, Manchu used Manchu and Manchu script. Manchu belongs to Tungusic language family of Altai language family

for more than 2 years, the rulers of Qing Dynasty took the initiative to sinicize, and their children had to receive Chinese culture education. Official documents were published in both languages, and Chinese became the common language of Manchu, but Manchu gradually faded out of social life.

by the late Qing dynasty, Manchu had rarely used Manchu. After the founding of the Republic of China, almost all Manchu people gave up Manchu and used Chinese.

Chinese is widely used in modern Manchu. Except for a few scholars who are studying Manchu, there are only a handful of Manchu people who can speak Manchu at present, and only a few older villagers in Sanjiazi Village, Fuyu County, Heilongjiang Province still retain the original Manchu language. Up to now, there are still several elderly people over eighty who can still use Manchu fluently.

It can be said that Manchu is basically sinicized, but many diets and customs originated from Manchu can still be seen in Northeast China. Such as sour soup, sauerkraut, sticky bean bag, blood sausage, saqima and so on.

Manchu people taboo dog meat, do not eat dog meat, do not beat dogs, and do not use heating items made of dog skin. This is related to the dog totem worship and ancestor worship of Manchu people, and also to the fact that dogs have played an important role in Manchu people's life and production, which also separates Manchu people from their neighboring nationalities (such as Korean people). Manchu does not harm crows.
