Hezhe nationality is a minority nationality with a long history in Northeast China. Its national language is Hezhe language, which belongs to the Manchu branch of the Manchu Tungusic language family of Altai language family (there is also a view that it should be included in the Nanai language branch). It has no national characters and uses Cyrillic letters to record the language. Because it has been living together with the Han nationality for a long time, it uses Chinese.
