The Tungus-Manchurian peoples are formed in a vast area in the Altai Mountains and interact with other linguistic groups of peoples: Mongolian, Turkic and Tibeto-Chinese. The Tunguso-Manchzhur peoples, along with Turkic and Mongolian peoples, are part of the Altai family. The Tunguso-Manchzhur peoples, by their physical appearance, mostly belong to the Baikal type of Mongoloid race. Manchurians (in Chinese "Man-tszu") were settled mainly in Dongbei, the administrative and economic region of the People's Republic of China, which included most of the former Manchuria. Manchuria is the north-eastern part of China. It originates from the name of Manchurian state that existed in the 1st half of the 17th c. on this territory. Evenki is a nation in Siberia of Russia and northern China. They are also known under Tungus (at Russians and Yakuts), Orochons (in Transbaikalia and Amur region), Kile (at Udegeans).
