Xibe
Redirected from Sibe
The Xibe (Sibe; Chinese, 錫伯 Xibo) are a Chinese ethnic group living mostly in northeast China and Xinjiang.
The Xibe in northeast China speak Chinese as mother tongue[?].
In Xinjiang, descendants of a Qing dynasty military garrison preserve their language, which is very close to Manchu. They use the Xibe script, a slightly revised Manchu script.
The Xibe believe that they are descendants of the Xianbei.
