Tungusic peoplesTungusic peoples are an ethno-linguistic group formed by the speakers of Tungusic languages (or Manchu–Tungus languages). They are native to Siberia and Northeast Asia.

The name Tungusic is artificial, and properly refers just to the postulated linguistic phylum (Tungusic languages).
