http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanai_people
The Nanai language (also called Gold or Hezhen) is spoken by the Nanaipeople in Siberia, and to a much smaller extent in China's Heilongjiangprovince, where it is known as Hezhe. 

Tungusic peoples are:

• Evenks
• Evens
• Manchus (Jurchens)
• Negidals
• Nani people
• Oroch people
• Orok people
• Oroqen people
• Udege people
• Ulchs
• Xibe

The word originated in Tunguska, a region of eastern Siberia bounded on the west by the Tunguska river^[2] and on the east by the Pacific ocean.

The largest of the Tungusic peoples are the Manchu who number around 10 million. They are originally from Manchuria, which is now Northeast China but following their conquest of China in the 17th century, they have been almost totally assimilated into the main Han Chinese population ofChina. This process accelerated especially during the 20th century. The non-assimilated culture and language is still present in parts of northern China.

Evenks live in the Evenk Autonomous Okrug of Russia. The Udege(Удэгейцы in Russian; ethnonym: удээ and удэхе, or udee and udehe correspondingly) are a people who live in the Primorsky Krai andKhabarovsk Krai regions, also in Russia.

Phonemic vowels change as follows based on surrounding consonants:[16] [i] becomes [] after [dz, ts, s] /i/ becomes [ɪ] after /ɖʐ, ʈʂ, s/ /i/ becomes [i̟] after /m, n, l, d/ A glottal stop [ʔ] is inserted before /i/ when it begins a syllable and precedes /dz, s, tɕ, ɕ, l, m, ŋ/. /ɘ/ may optionally become [ɯ] in non-initial syllables A vowel in a final syllable is nasalised when it precedes /n/ The following table summarises the rules of vowel harmony.

Tolskaya specifically noted several phonological peculiarities of Bikin dialect which may indicate influence from Udege, including monopthongisation of diphthongs, denasalisation of nasal vowels, deletion of reduced final vowels, epenthetic vowel preventing consonant final words, and the deletion of intervocalic [w].[19] Sakhalin Oblast Сахалинская область (Russian) —  Oblast  — Flag Coat of arms Anthem: Anthem of Sakhalin Oblast Coordinates: 50°33′N 142°36′ECoordinates: 50°33′N 142°36′E Political status Country Russia Federal district Far Eastern[1] Economic region Far Eastern[2] Established January 2, 1947 Sakhalin Island with Karafuto Prefecture highlighted After the Russo-Japanese War, Russia and Japan signed the Treaty of Portsmouth of 1905, which saw the southern part of the island below 50th parallel north reverting to Japan; Russia retained the other three-fifths of the area. During the Siberian Intervention, Japan briefly held the northern part of the island from 1920 to 1925. Sakhalin Koreans are Russian citizens and residents of Korean descent living on Sakhalin Island, who trace their roots to the immigrants from theGyeongsang and Jeolla provinces of Korea during the late 1930s and early 1940s, the latter half of the Japanese colonial era. At the time, the southern half of Sakhalin Island, then known as Karafuto Prefecture, was under the control of the Empire of Japan; the Japanese government both recruited and forced Korean labourers into service and shipped them to Karafuto to fill labour shortages resulting from World War II. Sakhalin Koreans may or may not identify themselves as Koryo-saram. The term "Koryo-saram" may be used to encompass to all Koreans in the former USSR, but typically refers to ethnic Koreans from Hamgyŏng province whose ancestors emigrated to theRussian Far East in the 19th century, and then were later deported to Central Asia. 사할린 한국인 Hanja 사할린 韓國人 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakhalin_Koreans Japan renounced its claims of sovereignty over southern Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands in the Treaty of San Francisco (1951), The Nivkhs are a small people group who inhabit regions of the Far East on the island of Sakhalin and basin of Lower Amur. The Nivkhs have been known as the Giliaks up until the 1930's in literature. The word "Giliaks" in Tunguso-Manchu language means "people, moving with the help of twin oars on big boats." The word "Nivkhs" means "man." In 1989, according to the census, there were 4,673 people. A territorial sign divides the Nivkhs into two groups: Insular (Sakhalin) and mainland. The Sakhalin Nivkhs used to occupy the whole territory of the island; however, now it mainly only occupies its northern part. Mainland Nivkhs inhabit lower Amur, Amur estuary coast, and Tatar Strait. The Nivkhs' language can be distinguished within three dialects: Amur, East Sakhalin, and North Sakhalin.

The Nanais are mainly Shamanist, with a great reverence for the bear (Doonta) and the tiger (Amba).
